It better--it HAS to!! A calf needs to be up and suckling from its mother within one to three hours after birth to get the best-quality colostrum as possible. Anything after and the calf won't be getting adequate colostrum to make it that much more healthier than what's possible for it to get. And yes, when I mean a calf is up, I mean it's up and walking around, not sitting down.
