[QUOTE="Bez>, post: 358220, member: 6007"] Look - if the calf is on the cow it will be ok. Yeah it may / may not have got colostrum - but too late now. We have had this happen before and panicked and ran everything down trying to get some in the calf. No luck. In the end the cow that took the calf did a fine job and raised it up as good as all the rest. While I will not minimize the importance of "first milk" - you are already over the 24 hour mark - so do not waste your time and stress out the calf. If it is being loved and fed it is well on it's way. Tubing not required and stress is not required - bet this one weans out in the top half of the herd. For all we know he is sucking on two and stealing from a third. Relax - life is unfolding as it should. Bez> [/QUOTE]
