[QUOTE="tsmaxx47, post: 800982, member: 14363"] chuckie, all of the above being said; i had the situation you described this last Spring with a second calf cow. never could get the first calf weaned and he was actively nursing as it turned out, alongside the newborn. being worried about colostrum for the newborn, we tried to bottle feed her colostrum, but she would have none of it. we finally threw up our hands and let nature take it's course. the cow continued to nurse both dependents right through the Summer. no adverse effects noticed on the newborn. we sold the weanling (the newborn) at six months and 471# (a heifer). it seems the calf either got some colostrum from the mother or we just got lucky with that calf. my advice would still be to try and get some colostrum in that calf. good luck!!
