[QUOTE="FlyingLSimmentals, post: 1490758, member: 16752"] Looks like it may be a bottle calf if I can't get her to make some milk. Figured she'll would like M-5 said. Going to keep giving her grain and supplementing the calf. Just don't want to feed the calf enough that it thinks I'm mother unless its gonna be that way. I've seen cows abort fetuses that made more milk than she has. She usually has an efficient bag not big but one that is always running. I've saved daughters from her and they're good milkers, and even saved last years heifer it's in the keeper pen. Puzzled why she didn't make more milk? Figured it had to do with it being early and maybe a bit with her age. But she's solid and in good physical condition. [/QUOTE]
