[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 544782, member: 539"] Since it appears that she is a good-looking cow, and was sick and in poor body condition at the time of purchase I would do two things - I would supplement her with a little extra grain to increase her milk production, and either supplement the calf with a bottle here and there to support his growth, or creep feed him. Given the circumstances at the time of her purchase - I would also be a lot more inclined to give her a 2nd chance to do her job when she is in better body condition. A cow needs a few basic things to properly raise a calf, and one of those things is for her to be in good enough condition to be able to produce milk - it does not sound like she was when she was purchased.
