[QUOTE="Beefy, post: 20799, member: 57"] What about the heifers milk? is she just not giving any? if she was heavily conditioned she may have a lot of udder fat and as a result will not milk well. Or are her teats just very sensitive? this is common in heifers. could she have mastitis? what does her milk look like? does she just kick at the calf or also walk away? IF you have a chute, put her in there and tie her like dun said. show the calf where to get the milk and let it have at it. you may have to do this every day if the heifer continues to kick. she will not like going into the chute every day though. it is not uncommon for heifers to kick. once she gets desensitized they will be ok. check for mastitis though.
