*sigh*
He's dead.

This was just the WEIRDEST calf.
The first five days he absolutely would not suck.

Then he was intermittent. Some days he'd suck, some days he'd have no clue and have to be drenched again. One day he'd be up running around, demanding a bottle just like any other bottle calf. The next he was flopped on the ground, half-dead.

Today he actually died. Truly weird.
The last couple of days, he was a happy camper. Took his bottle happily, ran around with the other calf... This morning, he was down again. Wouldn't suck.
This afternoon he's dead.
