[QUOTE="jrn28, post: 1175815, member: 20339"] My favorite heifer calved last night, I rarely stay out til 12:00 to keep an eye on a cow but since it was a heifer I did. She successfully had a 45 pound bull calf. Since I was there I stayed to make sure it had its first meal. I have never seen a heifer or cow fight the calf as much as she did. She would keep walking back and in circles to where the calf won't catch a teat. Eventually cow tired out and calf got a hold. Checked on it this morning and everything looks good. I'll try to post a pic later. Also I wanted to ask, this heifer right after calving didn't get up or move for about 20min. I pushed her to move and nothing she was zoned out, kinda zombie like. She shook out of it when the calf called. Has any one seen that? [/QUOTE]
