[QUOTE="Farmhand, post: 162993, member: 1292"] Have been there myself. We lasso and cinch them down to something. This way they can see the calf and get used to it being underneath them and nursing. Then we start moving the calf under her. Have a piece of pvc pipe in hand. Everytime she kicks the calf, whack her on the nose. Doesn't take much of a hit to hurt. Just think how much it hurts when your nose gets hurt. Same deal. Won't take her but 2-3 days to associate kicking the calf with her nose hurting and stop it. We usually yell no at the same time as whacking her nose. Pretty soon you can just yell no and she'll stop kicking the calf. Keep tying her for nursing until she no longer tries to kick the calf. Then try her untied for nursing for a couple days to make sure she keeps letting the calf nurse. Stubborn ones you just have to "bond" with. [/QUOTE]
