[QUOTE="JW IN VA, post: 1494654, member: 21289"] Give her some extra grain while she's in the chute.Does two things.Rewards her time caught and makes extra milk which she will find relief when the calf nurses.All the above posts are worth taking note of. A small area for calving may help since they can't get away as far from the calf.There's a lot of changes in her life right now but she should still act like a mother.How difficult was the calving? I've also heard of people taking a dog around close to the chute area.Sometimes arouses the protective trait. If she does this next year she'd be gone. [/QUOTE]
