[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 1050461, member: 18809"] Let the calves nurse her at least twice a day. We fostered a twin onto a two year old that lost her calf from being squished up against a bale ring. I was told by vet after the third day, she should accept the calf as her own. Once her milk comes through the calf, she will recognize the sent as her own and accept it. It worked for us, but I also poured a little grain on the calf to encourage the cow to lick the calf. Twins are always tough, but stick with it! [/QUOTE]
