[QUOTE="MurraysMutts, post: 1791695, member: 39373"] Smaller calves are easier to handle. Shes 60lbs or so. I've tried handling 95lb animals and they are difficult. Especially if they are frisky. 😆 I've also held one off milk for about 24hrs and they usually become quite the aggressive nurser. That lil heifer can get to all 4 quarters from behind. Some folks milk what they need first, then let the calves have the rest. Good luck! Hope it works out. Feel free to update! I'm getting a late start today. But they have not nursed her. Even tho they are all together. Bag is full. Calves are shying away. I'm sure they are waiting for me to feed. [/QUOTE]
