[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1484803, member: 25884"] That's impressive. Need some genetics like that in our herd. Where is the Green Springs sale? Don't see a location on your posts. We have 2 cows that are raising an additional calf between them. The cow died and her calf was about 4-5 weeks old. She was old and this was her last calf and would have been sold when it was weaned. These 2 cows had calves about 2 weeks old and the orphan started sucking one and then the other when I went in the field to check them. I was all set to bring the orphan in but figured that if they would let it suck, between the two it should do okay. They got turned out to pasture for the winter on stockpiled grass and I saw him specifically and he looked to be doing okay. Thing is, we have several that will let another calf suck, especially when their own is sucking. But to try to "make them take a 2nd calf" is something I just don't want to try. [/QUOTE]
