[QUOTE="I luv herfrds, post: 896856, member: 5917"] I would try to milk the cow first. Do like Dun says and flank her with a rope. I have a Stop Kik and will use that on our cows if needed. Get the calf up there and squirt some milk on his nose. He might lick it off. We have had a few first year heifers kick a bit but then settle down and let the calf nurse. We did have one several years ago that licked the calf off but not let him suck. Then she took a real dislike to the calf and tried to kill him. Cow got shipped and calf got sold. [/QUOTE]
