[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 8820"] I'm hoping to get some advice. I have a small herd of cattle that are 4-h projects. Earlier this year I got my first bred and owned calf. My grandparents used to have beef cattle when I was younger but they can't answer my question. This calf is almost 6 months old. She is Plenty big and healthy. And mama has slowed down on producing milk. We have had the calf seperated for a day or two and the cow's bag filled up with milk. I remeber milking some cows a few times after weaning their calves. but the problem is. I wanted to send this cow to another farm to be bred. I won't be able to check on her while she is out there and I know this farmer doesn't have to time to watch her (and she certinly won't let him milk her). Should I worry about her filling up with milk. I remeber talk of milk fever if they didn't get the milk out. I really appreciate any suggestions you have.<br>Thanks Jen <br> <br><hr size=4 width=75%><p> [email=JENuineCwg@aol.com]JENuineCwg@aol.com[/email] [/QUOTE]
