[QUOTE="Pine Creek Ranch, post: 529906, member: 6012"] Sometimes its nice to have a few easy going cows around that let anyone nurse, but last year we had a registered Murray Grey heifer calve out a nice little bull, and of all the cows out there that I didn't want to let other calves nurse on her, wouldn't you know that she would be the one to do it. We had a very old cow have twins last year, and she was not keeping up with them on milk production, and they both started stealing milk from this heifer, who evidently liked it, because once I noticed 3 calves suckling on her at the same time. Each of the twins on either side and her own bull calve between her two back legs. We almost always see a calf stealing milk from another cow, and its usually a first time heifer that just doesn't know any better yet. The next year they don't usually allow it. [/QUOTE]
