[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 530710, member: 852"] So if I understand you right, you feel a high producing cow shouldn't be a nurse cow because she might possibly produce more milk if she were milked by a milking machine than if she were raising calves? and putting calves on that high producing cow will [i][u]ruin[/u][/i] her how??? I would agree that economically it might make more $en$e to bottle feed twice as many calves with the milk, but it's also going to take a lot more time. However, that's neither here nor there because that's not the point. Just because some dairyman would much rather have that high producing cow in his milking herd doesn't mean she's [i]ruined[/i] because someone else would rather use her as a nurse cow. [/QUOTE]
