[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1798239, member: 24027"] This! 3 years ago, it sure looked like the cow had a full udder, but I had seen the calf on her & her teats were shiny. Except the calf kept bawling. Red flag. Sucked my finger, took a bottle. Lucky for me, this cow had been born & raised here (9 years old at the time) and actually brought her calf down to the barn and saved me the trouble of catching/loading in the trailer. Off to the vet & 2 quarters were dead, the other 2 okay but not enough. Kept them in the barn long enough for the calf to learn that I was his primary source of nutrition, then let them join the herd. Majority of the time, mama & calf were waiting for me with a supplemental bottle until he learned to rob off other cows and eventually refused the bottle. [/QUOTE]
