[QUOTE="Sir Loin, post: 392320, member: 5601"] Seen it many times and have even seen them suck on themselves. It’s not a problem I would worry about as in most cases it stops within a week or 10 days as it becomes very uncomfortable for both the sucker and suckee. Just give them a little time and they will kick each other off when their teats get sore, or they will stop on their own when their neck gets stiff. I wouldn’t cull. Better the devil you know then the one you don’t. Re: It could mean you weaned the calf too soon. Why did you wean the calves, are the mammas ready to spring? (give birth within 2 weeks) Why are you concerned about them drying up? A cow doesn’t need to dry up to produce colostrum as it is triggered by giving birth. SL [/QUOTE]
