Saw her let the one that I got with her nurse on her own today. Still won't let other one nurse, unless in coral with me there. But I guess improvement is improvement!

I've been able to get her to let them nurse of a evening, while she's eating. She's getting better about it, so maybe theres still hope after all.

Oh I don't let it discourage me. You win some you lose some! Just par for the course. Thanks for the advice guys (and gal).

I gave up, I turned all them out with the rest of my cows. They ran out of grass in the little pen I had them in. At least the calves are eating grain, so they will survive. Just wish it would have worked out like I'd planed. The third strike was neither calf was very aggressive with her...

Thats what I thought. She had her calf with her at his house when she let everyone nurse on her.

So I bought her from a neighbor down the road. He wouldn't sell me her calf with her, but sold me another one that was also nursing her (I saw him nurse her). But now at my place I put her in a small pen with the calf she came with and another calf. All she does is bawl, and swats at anything...

She's weaned from bottle already.

I've got a 2 month old bottle calf, and I recently acquired a nurse cow. What is the best way to get the calf to start nursing her? Or is it a lost cause? Just thought calf would do better mothered up than it will on it's own.

Sorry to hear about your bad luck. On a lighter note: Happy belated Birthday!! Hope it was a good one!

You said you don't see them do it as much? Have you seen them do it at all? If they do it once in a while, that's to often. Imo

Larry Leonhardt said "the best cow is the one who goes un-noticed the longest." True... Never thought of it that way.

I sold a great looking heifer for that reason. It sucks, but it's better than her sucking everything on the place. I tried nose rings, I tried separation, nothing worked. Hated to see her go, but she was determined she wasn't stopping.

Any updates? Has she calved?

I had a Angus heifer that didn't bag hardly at all until she calved. So it just hard to tell on heifers.

Sorry to hear that. How many more you have to calve? Hopefully the rest will go good. As far as the weather : you know what they say about Missouri weather. If you don't like it wait five minutes it will change! Lol. I take that back it's not funny I'm outside working today! I'm frozen, and...

Nice looking calves!

Any updates? Has she calved?

Glad to hear everything is going good. I've always liked the braunveih cattle, ut you don't see very many. At least around where I'm at. Are they hard to find, or just not very many people raise them?

How do you do this? I'm interested. Might be neat to try. Think still have vet preg check but interested in giving it a try.

What breed is the old bull, are they both Hereford? Can u tell by their looks?
