[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1654367, member: 968"] It takes work - but if you leave them together, you are risking the growth of the one heifer calf. Just because a cow "looks" like she has plenty of milk, does not mean she does. I find if a calf is trying to steal - there is a reason. Maybe mom is kicking it off. Lots of possibilities, but you are/could be sacrificing one calf for convenience if you ignore. But, that depends on the value you place on them. They "should" be able to take care of themselves.
