[QUOTE="Dsth, post: 1829428, member: 38038"] a few years ago, my then boss cow claimed a calf (about 2-3 days old) that was not Her's when she was in labor. would not let the calf's mom near that calf. the boss cow had her calf a little later, claimed her newborn and older calf was reunited with its mom. boss cow's calf acted just like you described in your post and started acting sick on about day three. vet took blood sample and determined that calf did not get adequate colostrum and died a few days later even after treatment. I saw newborn sucking on cow shortly after birth so I know it sucked. I figure the older calf sucked the boss cow when she was claiming it and consumed most if not all the colostrum milk before boss cow's calf sucked. [/QUOTE]
