[QUOTE="Double R Ranch, post: 802902, member: 411"] I have had a few do this and it always ended up in trouble. The last two I caught doing it both got the runs from two differant mamas and to much milk. The other calfs got less milk and got skinny (which helped me notice the nursing). They were then seperated. Turned them back to gether months later and the little turd went right back to nursing of the second mom. My neighbor had 125 pair this last year and every one of them got the runs from nursing off any mom around. All the calves were getting differant stages of milk from differant moms. Was a bad deal all the way around. Lost some young calves from it to. The little calf went to nurse, the bigger calf came from behind, pushed the younger calf off teats and nursed them almost dry. Not good. Don't allow it here. Just our experiance. Double R [/QUOTE]
