[QUOTE="Limomike, post: 637077, member: 3400"] If the calf is up and around, and is "messing", then it will probably be alright. Some first time heifers have small bags, and dont look like they are producing milk, but really are. And as time goes on, the mother will produce more and more milk as the calf continues to suck. If you see the calf's sides starting to sink in alot, and it gets to where it lays down more and more, then you need to supplement with a bottle. As far as the momma cow, you can creep feed her daily, with some 14-16% creep to help her keep prouducing while shes nursing. Make sure she has plenty of water, and some good quality hay to eat also.
