[QUOTE="76 Bar, post: 1518774, member: 18664"] Good read. [url]http://dtnpf-digital.com/article/When_It’s_Time_To_Step_In/1936781/246968/article.html[/url] Glad to hear the calf is improving. Unfortunately, separation doesn't make the heart grow fonder in these situations. Best to let her nurse the cow while in the chute, preferably 3 x's/day. I'd also make darned sure the dam didn't attempt to kick the calf while it was nursing. Also helps to put a tasty treat in front of the chute. Can you pen them in tight quarters with the calf protected behind a barrier? Never had (knock on wood) a 1st CH reject her calf. If it ever happens and she doesn't have an attitude adjustment pronto, she'd be on the bus to town post haste. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
