[QUOTE="3waycross, post: 487816, member: 6713"] Won't you run into a problem if you try to switch him from the milk cow back to his mother. He will have the smell of the milk cow from her milk on him. Sounds to me like you either try to milk his mother and feed it to him or just go to the milk cow period. By the way we had a very young heifer calve last summer and on the 5th day come up to the fence where we were feeding her calf milk replacer and demand her calf. We opened the gate and she just came in and started licking him and let him suck, end of story. It was the darndest thing I ever saw. For what its worth this was a Shorthorn/Gelbvieh cross heifer. A week after she claimed him she just stood by and moo'd real quiet while we banded and vacced him. [/QUOTE]
