[QUOTE="sunnyblueskies, post: 1628498, member: 39112"] First time heifer. Had her calf no problem, loves it, moos at it, licks it. Makes sure it follows her. Nothing wrong with the calf, can suck, is hungry....... but the two don't mesh. When the calf sticks it's head there and tries to latch on, no matter which side or wich teat, the heifer kicks or simply walks a few steps so the calf can't latch on. And the calf is discouraged by now to keep trying. Locked her up, put her in the maternity pen, hobbled her feet and calf sucks just fine. But only when we are around and put the heifer into the maternity pen and close her in. Left them locked in for 2 days, no change. So frustrating. Who has dealt with a case like this? What did you end up doing? How did the story end? [/QUOTE]
