[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 1111114, member: 2308"] If she were a good cow, I would probably get a foster calf for her to raise. If she had a dead calf prematurely I wouldn't expect her to hang around it loving it. And heifers (last year) are notorious for not being the best mothers right after birth, they have to figure it all out. But I would expect her to love her calf and act like a mother even if she didn't clean it up as good as you would expect. If I had questions about her mothering ability, she would go. If I were satisfied with her mothering ability and she raised a good calf last year, and if she would accept( and had milk to as well) a foster calf I would possibly think about keeping her. [/QUOTE]
