[QUOTE="Farmerjon, post: 862764, member: 17113"] I have a couple Jersey/Shorthorn cows that produce GALLONS of milk. They raise big calves yet see them nursing four calves at a time. As long as their calf/calves aren't suffering, I don't worry about it. If they were going after the heifers, I might separate them. I would think that would lead to confusion or if they are near calving don't want all the colostrum stolen. I don't notice until late in the year, they might be consuming more than the cow can produce and have learned where the free lunch is. [/QUOTE]
