[QUOTE="3-B Farms, post: 51199, member: 773"] i know this may sound silly but i have seen it work. if you take some of the cows feces and rub it on the calfs back end when she smells herself she will sometimes claim the calf. i had a brahama calf that lost its momma, my uncle had a cow that lost her calf. we did the whole thing with roping her, tying a half-hitch in her nose and then tying her back leg to a post to let the calf suck, durying one of these bloody, dirty, cussing sessions an old man was driving by and seen the ruckus and told us this would help. we let the calf suck, untied the cow and after about 20 or 30 minutes to calm down, the calf walked up like she had good sense and the cow never tried to butt or kick her, she raised that calf for about 7 months after that, we weaned the calf when she had to get on her knees to suck [/QUOTE]
