[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 165510, member: 852"] Check the other post I made in answer to your question...but in addition: Yes - take him back again and again and again. Don't just stand there and expect the two of them to magically figure this out on their own. Where is this cow when you're trying to get the calf to nurse? Is she standing loose in a pen??? Some folks like to use a chute - I haven't tried that one - but I've roped and snubbed cows before. Sometimes just having her tied and parallel against a fence will keep those hind feet on the ground. Sometimes not. Depends on how much she dislikes the calf nursing. I'm guessing she's not too bad about it if she'll let you milk her by hand. [/QUOTE]
