[QUOTE="RDFF, post: 1669180, member: 39018"] I used to buy high somatic cell Holsteins and graft Holstein bull calves onto them... had about 5 cows with like 20 calves running on them. When you're doing that many, the cows just give up. But the first ones are the hardest, cause the cow wants to refuse them. I just tied them up good a couple of times a day and kept them all together in a small pen for about a week. Eventually, they give in. Had a Simmental that I tried to make that work with too though, and she had her own calf as a part of the bunch.... eventually I had to take her calf away and give it to a different one, or she wouldn't accept the others.
