[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1059170, member: 9096"] That does suck... I lost 2 calves in a row 2 years ago, one was a breech birth too.. Both cows adopted which was good... The one that had the breech birth never got to lick her calf, and I was milking her twice a day, then got a twin that the mother didn't want, kept it in the shop overnight, and brought it to her the next morning... it was love at first sight and you wouldn't think it wasn't hers... The cow that did get to lick her calf was a misery to have accept another, and never really accepted it... she let it suck, and that was as far as it was going to go. this year I lost an identical twin bull calf (the second twin)... the cow had a 110 lb bull calf, and was mean, but the following evening I found she didn't look well, so I went in and found the other calf... a second 110 lb'er... At least she has one! since it sounds like this one is the first to calve, I'd keep milking her if you can... never know what's coming down the pike! [/QUOTE]
