[QUOTE="vclavin, post: 1062391, member: 13613"] Bambi, the Jersey Heifer, finally had her heifer calf - only 15 days after AI due date..... thought that calf would never get here. 40lbs birthweight, good thing she waited to grow a little before birth hehe. Anyway, hubby get on her right side and I get on her left side and we milk her simultaneously! Bambi doesn't care a bit. We did however get blood in the milk on my side but it has almost totally cleared up after several days. We have left her calf - Cocoa - with her. Hubby says he has never seen teats so tiny, you have to milk her by stripping as they are not long enough to get a hold of... hopefully calf sucking will help with the length. Anyway, I'm getting almost 1 1/2 gallons morning and night ,not sure what calf is getting - she sucks first of course. Cocoa was born friday night about 8:12PM. We waited till the next morning to milk out Bambi so she'd have a chance to get acquainted with her baby. Her bag is still tight but dairy man said it would soften up in a couple days.
