Discovered a first calf heifer allowing another calf (not hers) to nurse. I hate to have to separate them. The thief is getting plenty of milk from her mama. What if anything would you do?
No, some good mammas just let any calf nurse. Sometimes cows raising twins are more likely to let a third calf rob. I think they just loose track of how many are nursing.Thanks for the replies.
Do you think a first calf heifer is more likely to allow the stealing than an older cow would?
