[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1791085, member: 25884"] I never take all the calves off a cow when I start new ones.. slide the new ones in there with one "old one" and they get to eat and know what is what; and then keep the old one away for a few minutes to let the new ones get started and then let the old one in to help finish up and so it is getting less milk, and the new calves are getting more then a couple days the old one goes in and there isn't any milk left and the cow has gotten used to the new calves....and then the old calf gets moved out permanently. Some cows will let you make the change without a fuss, but most will accept the new calves if there is an old one in there that the cow can sniff and say, okay.... that's my calf, and just let the new ones without a fuss... they get a week or so and more aggressive and then the old calf can go elsewhere. But every cow is different.... [/QUOTE]
