[QUOTE="Chris H, post: 1020046, member: 1974"] We're about 99% there! :banana: I've turned them loose in a grass lot during the day the last few days then bring them into the smaller pen overnight. This morning my husband caught the cow licking the calf's face shortly after I'd gotten the calf to nurse. Tonight they were apart when I went out to 'feed' the calf. She called to him, he called back and finally came running. Of course she thought something was wrong and started to run to him. He thought she was going to kill him and kept running until he got behind me. When everyone calmed down I got him to go to her. He tentatively reached for a teat and she kicked him :bang: . I walked up to them and started scratching her on the rump, he started nursing, and then I could walk away. Later I saw them 'necking', and they were fine. I'll know we're 100% there when I go out and see she's been nursed. That can't come too soon! [/QUOTE]
