[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 988706, member: 17767"] dun, would you explain that deal on their first crap. I was told by a farmer that you want to see the calf get up, start nursing to get some colostrum, and while it is nursing the mom will lick the anus to stimulate the first bowel movement. I have in fact seen mine do this. He said if you don't think the bowels have moved, you should rub the anal area so the calf will crap. Is this true? Is this to clear the bowels of accumulated feces resulting from the in vivo phase? [/QUOTE]
