[QUOTE="Stripey, post: 631951, member: 9714"] Thanks for those responses. Both calves are already off both cows — they're in a weaning paddock. I forgot to add that the cow sneaking milk wasn't a daily occurrence, more like once a week (window open + purse on the windowsill). She doesn't seem to try it on when there's no calf alongside. My worry is basically now about the new calf, but you've answered it: I have to separate the cows as soon as the older one calves, or earlier if there's any more adult-suckling. Thinking aloud here... Could I put the younger cow with the weaner calves, leaving the older cow to have her calf and raise it alone? (They do have a fenceline in common.) Or would the cows break a fence to get back together? Thank you again, and apologies for being unclear. [/QUOTE]
