[QUOTE="Katpau, post: 1630022, member: 9933"] [url=https://postimg.cc/F17YZqsZ][img]https://i.postimg.cc/F17YZqsZ/Buttons-and-2038-JPG.jpg[/img][/url] I grafted three this year. A day old orphan on a cow that had a still born calf 7 days earlier, a day old twin on a cow that had a still born calf 17 days earlier, and another week old twin on a cow I borrowed from a friend. She lost her calf 9 days prior. The one in the picture is the borrowed cow and she was the most difficult. It took awhile before she would let him nurse without being restrained. She had never seen a black calf before since she came from a herd of registered Herefords. She looked like she wasn't completely sure what it was for the first few days. :o They are well bonded now and out with the herd. I have had some that took over a week, but it is pretty rare to fail as long as you are persistent. [/QUOTE]
