[QUOTE="rodie, post: 637061, member: 10039"] I have a first time heifer that just had her calf yesturday late morning. 030309 around 1030a.m. The calf is eating but the cow just doesn't have much of a bag. Her teats are getting skinny after the calf sucks and her bag just isn't refilling. I'm afraid the calf isn't getting enough to eat. At this point should we start the calf on milk replacer also to help supplement the not so much milk the mom is giving? The calf isn't down yet. It will get up and walk around and is using the bathroom but i just want to get ahead of it maybe before the calf does happen to go down? Also is there anything i can give the mom to produce a little more milk? Please any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks :) [/QUOTE]
