[QUOTE="Beefy, post: 95510, member: 57"] First of all, not everyone who has cows is out to squeeze every cent out of them as possible. some people have cows as pets, some people may choose not to breed an animal for whatever reason, some people may have cattle as a hobby or simply to keep their grass clipped down and then decide later that they would like to try breeding them. He didnt say anything about her not being able to breed until she was 4. the last time i checked there was no stipulation posted on these boards that said hobby ranchers or people with less than ____head of cattle are not welcome here. Having said all that you need to do whatever you have to do to get the calf nursing the cow. put her in a chute or something and teach the calf to nurse and/or the cow to let the calf nurse her. shes had the calf now, you might as well make her raise it. if she doesnt she needs to move on or not be bred anymore at the very least (pet cow scenario here). Most of the time cows dry up naturally with no problems but occasionally you might have one get mastitis. just a chance you take but you shouldnt worry about that since you will be getting that calf on that cow soon, right?
