[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 864615, member: 539"] I disagree. If a cow allows another calf to nurse her it is pretty damned apparent she lacks mothering instinct, otherwise she wouldn't allow it. The major reason to cull a cow that allows a calf that is not her's to suck is because she is robbing her calf of nutrition. The flip side of that coin is that the major reason to cull a cow whose calf robs from another is because she is a poor milker, otherwise her calf would not be robbing from anyone he/she could.
