[QUOTE="fourstates, post: 533338, member: 5918"] I grafted a 2 month old bottle calf on a cow that had aborted late 3 weeks prior. The key was the calf's persistance. Once he figured out where the milk came from, he wore her down. I would feed her cubes if she stood still and let him nurse, but that would last as long as the cubes. He took a few kicks and butts, but he chased her, when she would stop to graze, he try to nurse. It took about 3 or 4 days before she mothered up, but she really did a great job. Don't give up.
