[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 70070, member: 968"] Good news about your daughter :D I wanted to point out for all reading. Research that I have found says a cow only produces the colostrum the one time. If anything sucks her ( or a producer milks her), she will only have milk for her newborn. By the way, do you think the cow wants the heifer that was sucking her prior to calving. She may be attached to that heifer thinking she's hers. Is your area Selenium deficient? If so, calf should get a shot. Selenium deficiency causes "dumb suckers" because the tongue is a muscle and lacking selenium makes large muscles weak. (it's called white muscle disease). Their legs are weak, along with their heart. Might not affect your area. If she is 3-4 weeks early, it's not surprising that she doesn't have the right instincts. Hang in there. There are only 24 hours in the day & you can only do so much. Good luck. Keep us posted. [/QUOTE]
