[QUOTE="1982vett, post: 632617, member: 7795"] Possibly, you meddled to much. Need to let nature do what nature does best. All you need to do is help when needed which isn't very often. Not sure why the calf is at the vet, if it is a healty calf it should be calling for mama. If they are left alone she will be attentive as long as she is not disturbed. I'll have to agree with your neighbor. Some cows might be worth giving a second chance but rarely deserve a third. If you do send them to the sale barn, don't let them sell as a pair and screw someone else. If the vet keeps the calf over the weekend, they will no longer be a pair anyway. Mama will have nothing to do with any calf by Monday. [/QUOTE]
