[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 15373"] We have had a Jersey Family cow for 3 years. Her second calf, born last March, will not wean. The calf wants to nurse and the cow lets her. I have had them separated for 2 months. The calf is gaining fine, doing well and has been dehorned. I put them back together and after 2 days the calf started nursing again. The cow started kicking the previous calf off at 6 months (this calf still has horns). The cow had "milk fever" with the latest calf, could that have caused some additional attachment with the calf. Should I try one of the nose suckling guards on the calf ? Any other suggestions ? They are separated again so we can get some milk. [email=mike@pasterik.com]mike@pasterik.com[/email] [/QUOTE]
