[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1133692, member: 9096"] That's great! Sometimes things just work, it may be an exception, so it sure makes you appreciate it! I had a cow that lost her calf at birth (breach, DOA), and I kept her in a pen for a while and milked her a couple times.. a couple nights later I had a cow have twins, and she has a hard enough time taking care of one, so I didn't even try to put the second one on her... It was one of those miserable nights, raining, 2 am, etc, so I took the heifer in to the shop, gave her a good meal, and put her to bed. In the morning I brought her up the chute to the pen where the new momma was, and she looked down the chute to the calf, MMmm'd, and it was the end of the story, it was hers.. I didn't let her sniff her dead calf, so I think she thought I had taken it, and was returning it? Whatever it was worked really well, it was too bad she was a freemartin because she was really impressive and I wasn't going to take 12:1 odds against my favour. [/QUOTE]
