[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1108629, member: 9096"] Yep, separate her, If she's a good producer, later in life she should have enough milk for her own, and the occasional theft... It's not lost milk.. it's just extra weight on a different calf. Gotta make sure her calf gets enough when it's young. Around here there's a lot of milk stealing going arouind when the cows are all at the feed bunk and concentrated on eating... Last year I saw 2 calves both stealing from the other's mother, side by side. As long as it's in moderation, I don't think it's too big a deal... once they're on pasture it's a lot harder for them to steal milk too. [/QUOTE]
