[QUOTE="A-RRanch, post: 1403664, member: 20333"] Hi Guys, Been awhile. Glad to be back. Had a heifer have a bull calf sometime between midnight and 7 AM this morning. At 7 AM, when I found him, he was up and trying to nurse every cow in the pasture. Most kicked him away but one cow gave him a little...His own mama never acted like she recognized him but went to the other calves in the pasture smelling and licking them. When she got around her own calf she just sort of moved on, no interest. I bottle fed a quart of colostrum just to be sure, since I dont know if he ever sucked mama, and put them both in a pen alone together hoping she settles down and realizes it's hers. Any other advice or ideas? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
