[QUOTE="Farmgirl, post: 770303, member: 832"] Sounds like the heifer wants to mother the calf but I agree sounds like her teats are sore. If you can restrain her and milk her some then put a little milk on the teats that will help the soreness. Then give the milk to the calf then shove him on the teat. Leave the cow and calf in a small pen. Did the cow ever lick the calf? I've always heard if she ever licks the calf, she will accept it. Good luck, Farmgirl [/QUOTE]
