[QUOTE="Hunny Do Ranch, post: 363579, member: 6042"] We had a heifer lose her calf and are trying to put another calf on her. It looks pretty funny cause we got a holstein heifer for $100 and the new mom is a char/ red angus cross and is a dark golden colour. But anyways I was having to put the heifer in the squeeze to let the baby suck. We are now at the point where I can stand there and she pretty much lets the calf suck but hasn't accepted her yet. We put the skin of her calf that died on her but she was not interested in that. So tonight I sprinkled salt on the baby and the mom licked her for about an hour. My question is- Does the heifer actually realize that she is also licking a calf when she is licking the salt? I put less than a small handful down her back. Doe she know this is a calf as well? Thanks PS the baby has been in with the momma since Monday night [/QUOTE]
