[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1421306, member: 968"] I strongly advise to keep the calf & cow separated during the day. Calf in the barn, mom outdoors eating grass - or in separate barns if possible - or just in different pens. When I show c/c pairs, they don't get to visit during the day, but are turned out together at night. At the show, I don't even tie them next to each other during the day. The show string is tied by size, so generally they are on opposite ends. You want the calf sucking mom, but not dependent on her for "security". At the show, the calf can't suck any time of day as they want, so they might as well get used to it. Also, good for the cow. She also is very used to her calf sucking often if they get to stay together 24/7. Otherwise, you have a cow and a calf bawling all during the day. You also will have a cow very upset every time you take the calf out to wash, or take for a walk, or show in it's own age class. Separate them now and save lots of head aches later. Nothing worse than a cow ramming back & forth & bawling wanting her calf at a show. [/QUOTE]
