[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1834790, member: 25884"] Pen her calf and the new calf together, away from the cow; let them both go on her when she is eating. You have a couple strikes against you... she ran with her own calf for a couple of days, and was not right there at your place close. She is not Bessie... you are going to have to convince her that if she wants her own calf, this new one is part of the deal. The milk needs to get through the new calf, and it needs to be with the red wf calf so they get to smelling and acting like a "set"... It might take a week or more... as long as the new calf is persistent, and the cow cannot have her own calf by it's self, it will learn to go on her when her own calf does... and even if she sucks from the back for a bit... the cow will tolerate it. Next time she needs to be there at your place and as soon as she calves, you need to pen it separate and then add a new calf to the mix so she thinks she had both... [/QUOTE]
