[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 533654, member: 852"] Just my thoughts, but... the calf is 2 months old. The cow would have to be a complete idiot not to realize it isn't hers and can't possibly be her calf. In fact, there's nothing you can do to that calf to disguise it in such a way that she mistakes a 2 month old calf for a newborn. You can put any amount of poop, afterbirth, milk, salt, o-no-more, vick's, etc on that calf that you want to, but the only thing that ultimately will work is persistance on your part and that calf's. The cow is just going to have to accept the calf and it's not optional. And she will accept it, eventually. [/QUOTE]
