[QUOTE="ENNOT, post: 206539, member: 3562"] I had a cow that I grafted a calf on this year that was a real pain. We put her in the chute, let the calf nurse, kept the cow and calf seperate for a couple days, everything we could think of. The calf was a twin and is real aggressive, but got tired of getting kicked. I got tired of it and put a set of walking hobbles on her. Took them off 5 days later, worked for a couple of days, then started kicking the calf again. I put the hobbles back on for a week, took them off again and things have been great ever since. We also had another cow calve the day I took the hobbles off and put the two pairs together. I think that helped quite a bit since the cow was locked in a pen by herself for so long. Try several things before you give up. Bottle calves are only fun for about a week. [/QUOTE]
