[QUOTE="pdfangus, post: 896787, member: 6543"] I have dealt with a few like this over the years. do what it takes..... what ever it takes...... to get the calf to nurse. often a flank rope will do..... but just as often you got to tie back a hind foot. eventually the switch will click on in the cow. I have had a couple that it took more than a week but normally a couple days will do it. definitely mark that cow as a cull at weaning. I had one a few years ago that I thought was going to tear the pen down and kill us all with her kicking..... and she had been a pet cow..... eventually the switch clicked on and then she wanted to fight over the precious baby. few days later she was fine.....
