[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 110699, member: 968"] As Dun said, you must seperate them. You are definately risking the life of the new unborn calf. The cow will only produce colostrom once - when it's sucked - it's gone. And when the new calf is born, it will not be able to compete for milk against an older calf - even by a few days. I would definately get some powdered colostrom & get the newborn to drink it just in case the cow no longer has colostrum to give her newborn. Being safe is better than being sorry. Dead calves are hard to replace. - takes a year. [/QUOTE]
