[QUOTE="Tim/South, post: 1101742, member: 17986"] Could what you saw a couple of days earlier been a vaginal prolapse? I have seen that mistake made before. If it was then you will most likely see it again during the next week. How does the momma cow act when the calf tries to nurse? Will she stand still and allow the calf to nudge around? I would keep the cow with the calf so they can bond. Removing a calf early can stress the momma cow into searching for her calf. I have had to held first calf heifers adjust to being a momma. Have milked her and fed the colostrum to the calf. I always pen them together. We also use a goat nipple when we feel it necessary to help a newborn nurse by supplementing with a bottle. Just some personal opinions. [/QUOTE]
