[QUOTE="donnaIL, post: 337995, member: 37"] We had a cow lost twin calves on a friday night/saturday early morning...next sale we could get to was on a tuesday, got a calf (born in the sale born) took it home on tues night--and the cow did not really want to take to it, the next day before we really "made" the cow take the calf (5 DAYS), without a headgate, just a small pen and my husband encouraging her to take it by smacking her, course that was a cow and not a heifer. She had milk and nursed the calf til weaning--it can be done, and if the cow wants the calf and has milk (i was unsure if your post said the adoptive cow had milk). donna [/QUOTE]
