Had 2 cows in the barn that gave birth the same night - no problems. One of the cows would not let her calf nurse. Got her tied up and she would let him nurse, but not unless she was tied up. Did this for a couple of days. When we cut her loose the last time, she about killed the calf so we put her out and will bottle feed him. She went straight out to the pasture to the other calf that was born the same night - could she be confused about whose calf is whose? How long do we need to bottle feed?
