[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1620840, member: 25884"] The calves will bring the cows back into their milk although after being without for over 2 weeks she might very well not come back as good as if she was only a couple of days out. One thing we have done with dairy cows is to give them oxy shots for a few days or a week, also to get them to come into their milk. Used it on a sow for a week and she finally came into her milk. If you want to try the oxy shot it can't hurt. But the cow might not want to come in for you after a couple of them. Usually we would do it for a week or so. But I think that the calves working on the cows will do as much good. If they will come to you for a bottle to round out the amount they are getting, then I'd do a bottle a day to make sure they are getting enough. I agree that living a "normal life" with the herd is better than a bottle calf. Good for you to get the cows to take the calves. That's a good sign of cows that are good, gentle , easy to work with cows. You are to be commended for having cows like that. [/QUOTE]
