[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 527155, member: 968"] But you need to determine if the 2 week olds dam has enough for her own calf. "Generally" if a calf is stealing from another cow, it's because it's HUNGRY! If 2 wk old's dam doesn't have enough milk for her calf - ship her. By stealing off of the newborns dam, the newborn may not grow as well as it could have. Older calf will/can get more than it's share of the milk. [/QUOTE]
