[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 4332"] this is not good because your new calf will not have enough colostrum if this calf keeps nursing her. need to separate them or put one of those kant-suck type things on the heifers nose to keep her from nursing the cow. and i know, that is most aggravating too. also, you want to watch and make sure this heifer doesnt try to nurse other heifers. this can cause them to get mastitis. i lost a very good heifer about 3 months ago because of this. good luck gene I've got a 17 month 700# Brangus > heifer that just won't leave this > new Simmental cow I just bought > alone. I got the Simm. about a > month and a half ago and no one > messed with her. She is supposed > to calve this month and all of the > sudden this heifer is constantly > trying to nurse off of her. Is > this ok or should I do something > about it. I've had the Brangus > heifer since she was a year old > and she was totally weaned when I > got her.
