[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 802297, member: 539"] Yeah, I see a problem with it. The cow that is letting the other calf suck lacks mothering instinct or she wouldn't be allowing the other calf to nurse. Her calf is much younger, and is going to lose out because the older calf is stealing a large bit of her milk. There is also the issue that the older calf's mother is not producing enough milk, or her calf would not be seeking another source of milk. Personally, I would ship both of them. [/QUOTE]
