[QUOTE="A6gal, post: 221526, member: 2034"] Thanks for all the feedback. I went ahead and gave him colostrum. Put the cow in the chute and let him nurse, milked the cow and rubbed the calf with the milk thinking she might accept it. Left them in the pen together a couple of days. Didn't work. He knows she's his mom because he runs straight to her even when other cows are around, but she's aggressive toward him and I'm afraid she's going to hurt him. He is the larger of the two calves and he's doing well on the bottle. I have a cow that lost a calf back in February, she stays close to the pen where the calf is penned. Too bad she's dried up already or she might adopt it. I don't mind bottle feeding but it's hard not to get attached. [/QUOTE]
