[QUOTE="Twin Springs, post: 330779, member: 5713"] I have a cow that just lost her calf. The calf was 5 days old. I have been bottle feeding a different calf. Does anyone have any tips to get the cow and calf to bond. I placed a huge amount of the hide from the dead calf onto the other one. The cow seems to grunt at the calf especially if you get close to it. I also noticed the cow ran off some of the other cattle from the calf. The calf I am trying to get the cow to take is about 4 weeks old. I think the cow pretty much is protective of the calf, however I am having trouble getting the calf to nurse from the cow. It did once today while the cow was in a head gate. Any help would be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
