I had that problem this year too with a week and a half old bottle calf and I am an "expert" at bottle feeding ;) I had to deflate him like Silver said . You just use a 14/16 gauge needle and stick it in beside the umbilical cord while they are upside down and apply constant/smooth pressure on...

Thanks Jed and Silver . Will try to post over at that site and if I do learn anything will let you know . Mr HD says thank you very much for your help, and Silver he appreciates you looking the book up and taking time to read through it . :D

We have a Tomcat 255 turbo skid steer and know that there is a valve on it that you switch over from summer to winter use . BUT cannot remember where it is and the book does not have any reference of it. Does anyone know here that valve might possibly be ? Desperately need to find it as it does...
