[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 11264"] I had an older cow that rejected her newborn calf last week. I got her and the calf in a pen. I milked her and bottle fed the calf, then poured some of her milk on the back of the calf. Left them in the pen over night and the next day she was being a protective mother, the calf was feeding and jumping around, I turned them back out and she doesn't let him out of her sight. > The mother had a hard time the > calf got on a nerve coming out and > paralized the mothers rear legs > she could not stand for six hours > it is her first calf she had him > in the pasture and it started to > pour down rain, we had to pack him > to the barn when she got up she > never had any interest in him.
