[QUOTE="zman6133, post: 834519, member: 11234"] Just an update....there was nothing wrong with the mother according to the Vet. He just said sometimes the cow is just a bad mother and there is nothing you can do about it. Well, my wife agreed that we can't have any bad mothers on our place, so away she went to the sale barn. The calf is now my wife's new best friend and follows her all over the place. My wife says that since her own mother did not want her, it is her job to take good care of her. She is growing like a weed and has no intention of trying to get out of the yard. I say yard as our yard is about 3 acres and she lives in her own shed at the very back. She comes up to the patio to get her bottles in the morning and then again at night. She is already about 125 lbs and is doing really well. Plus, it is a heifer calf so my wife having her as a pet is okay with me as if it was a bull calf, she alreayd knew what it fate would be. Thanks for all the help and advice. [/QUOTE]
