[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1403953, member: 25884"] Had an old cow do the same thing, would only let the calf nurse if I was there in the pen. If I walked away, she would kick it and go after it with her head, if I walked back to the gate she would stand there and let it nurse. After a week, I said that's it, I was taking some stuff to the sale and put her on the trailer too. Enough. But usually they will do okay after a few days. And I have found that if they are separated from the calf the first couple of times they have kicked it, and only let it in to nurse, that they often seem to want it more, maybe for the relief of the udder and quit. Everyone is different though. [/QUOTE]
