[QUOTE="Ryan, post: 75254, member: 615"] We had a young cow have a calf last year, but only 2 of the quarters had milk. The calf lived, but always looked like he wasnt fully nourished, even though he had all the grain, grass, water,and usually hay he could eat. She is due to have her second calf within the next week. My question is this: Do you think the cow will produce enough colostrum in just the two functional quarters for the calf to get all he/she will need for its immune system or do we need to supplement him some with some store bought? And, is there a possibility that there could be milk in the front two quarters this time around (if not she will probably grow wheels soon)? [/QUOTE]
