[QUOTE="OleScout, post: 1403768, member: 16899"] Had a similar situation last spring with a 4th calf cow. I did the chute routine letting him nurse. Put molasses on his head and back. She still would kick him away out in the lot. Even put them in a side shed and every time she kicked I'd light her up with a yellow stick. This went on to the point that when I brought them in and stood there holding the yellow stick she'd let him nurse. If I wasn't there threating her she would kick him. Finally gave up and my wife raised him on a bucket. Long story of extenuating circumstances led to her rejecting the calf so she gets one more chance and is springing heavy now so we will see what happens. [/QUOTE]
