[QUOTE="MurraysMutts, post: 1800605, member: 39373"] [USER=39792]@ksmit454[/USER] is the calf getting its fill when nursing mama from the chute? Does it seem hungry and aggressive while nursing? Sometimes mama walking away is meant for the calf to follow to get her baby away from "people/danger" The calf may not understand that since you've been "mama" Then again.... I ain't there either so it's hard to say. After a few days, I'd let the calf skip a meal or two and pen em up together and see what happens! If the calf is hungry and aggressive, that'll help tremendously. But if he's already somewhat full, he may not follow mama very easily. And mama don't feel the urgency either since her udder has been drained in the chute with some regularity. Best of luck! Send a pic or two if can [/QUOTE]
