[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1654352, member: 24816"] I would separate the heifer and her calf, that is letting other calves nurse if possible. I would keep them separate until her calf has a little size and age otherwise if the other calf keeps nursing it could take away from her calf to the point that it doesn’t do well. On that note, you mentioned the other calf’s cow had plenty of milk. Sometimes that does happen where they get enough but will sneak more, but there could also be an unknown issue in regards to the other cows udder/milk too. [/QUOTE]
