[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1467424, member: 25884"] Not to be a wise guy, but are you sure it is her calf? Sometimes a cow will claim a calf that is not hers.....Anyone else have a calf that maybe had twins? Was she due about now so within the general time frame? I am no fan of fescue, but have never heard of it causing an animal to not come into their milk. Oxytocin will not cause them to prolapse, but as stated it will not bring her into milk but help with the letdown. A shot won't hurt her if you want to try it. We had a sow one time that the vet said to use oxytocin on and after 5 days she came into her milk; don't guess a few times would hurt. I'd bottle feed the calf, leave it with her and see if she comes into her milk. If you are sure it is her calf. [/QUOTE]
