[QUOTE="lazyhill, post: 28423, member: 256"] I wouldn't be too concerned about a 7 month old bottle fed calf wanting to nurse off of another cow. She most likely will not associate a cow with milk. As far as getting hurt, she most likely will be run around a bit as she finds her place in the pecking order. However, I wouldn't be overly concerned. I'd be more concerned with her developing a little depression as she may not see your wife as much as she does now. We have a bottle fed baby from a few years ago that was truly a pet in every sense of the word. She never really has integrated with the herd. Tends to be a loner. I'm not sure she realizes that she is a cow. [/QUOTE]
