[QUOTE="MurraysMutts, post: 1759419, member: 39373"] I would definitely keep em penned up a day or three. And monitor! I'd also be tugging on them teats and making sure there is milk. Had one several years ago only had milk in one spigot and it was not good milk. Calf will give up after it ain't getting anything. My last issue was sausage teats. Calf wouldn't/couldn't get the big fat teat in its mouth. I watched it try and try and try the start to grazing as a newborn. Got the cow up and the calf started on her after milking a bit to be sure they wore working. Young cow too. She raised it. No issues the next Calf. But she brought good money as a pair. Friend bought it knowing her issue. Last Calf for her. [/QUOTE]
