[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1846788, member: 25884"] I usually have 1 or 2 older calves that I will let in to a cow after "her calves" have eaten for a couple of minutes... the bigger ones will muscle out the smaller ones and clean up the surplus milk so the littler ones don't get too much...It is a balancing act... and you are dealing with calves that have probably been on milk replacer before you get them, in many cases, and the switch is tough on their systems... or if they came off a cow, like some that are split off a cow due to poor milk or bad udder or something, they are going to try to get all they can and then get too much all at once.
