[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 1219107, member: 14661"] I would walk away and let her deal with it. She knows it's her responsibility as she fought with you over it and you don't know for certain that it didn't suck. If you have holes in your mineral program then the shots are not a bad idea but other than that I'd walk away and wait and see. If you pen up a cow that already knows that the calf is hers to protect you're adding tons of stress to her. With my own cows penning one by itself with a newborn calf is such a stress as to make an otherwise good momma ignore her calf. Do what you can but leave them out there and give her plenty of opportunity to step in and take him off your hands. [/QUOTE]
