[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1630012, member: 24027"] Quality time in the chute, molasses and Orphan No More didn't work for me when I tried to get a heifer to accept her own calf. Sold that calf to a friend who adopted it onto one of her cows. She put the cow in the chute the first time - no hobbles or restraint, no Orphan No More - calf sucked her dry. 2nd time she just gave the cow a pile of cubes - no chute. Kept them in a small pen and the adoption was a done deal by the next day. Sold my same friend a twin (she's having a rough year) and that adoption took less than a day. Helps to have a fairly aggressive calf (and of course a good cow) but patience and time are key. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
