[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 1404872, member: 3162"] I have a nursing crate for hard cases. After three days the calf has the cow's scent. I keep the graft calves and the natural calf in the pen and let them all nurse at the same time when the cow is crated. "Two calves" is no big deal. its the 4th that gives me trouble You can sponge milk onto the calf and give the calf the scent. It works sometimes. Some cows just don't make good nurse cows. I buy beef calves and graft them to dairy cows. Occasionally I get people calling me asking if I have a wet cow. Its all in timing. If a cow is already nursing all the calves she needs, I'm not really in the market. [/QUOTE]
