[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 354809, member: 968"] The calf is telling you that mom doesn't have enough milk. You can say she isn't in as good condition, but if you are feeding grain & they are on pasture & hay, she should be receiving enough nutrients to produce milk to her ability. So, that cow would be on the list for culling - if you were looking to reduce your herd, she would be on top. The other calves may suffer (as noted above) due to this one stealing. You can't stop it unless you seperate them, which isn't always easy to do. [/QUOTE]
