[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1621179, member: 25884"] Sounds like you have it down pat...... One reason that the calf that was the twin, and on the cow that was 17 days out, keeps following you around for the milk is that you are imprinted on her more as the source of her milk. Sure, it is easier in the bottle, but you were the first thing that gave her milk without "kicking her or running her off" like the other cows did when she tried to find a meal. So she associates you with being her "mother" so to speak. Nothing wrong with that and it will hopefully keep her a little more friendly too. I still think that it is really great that the cows took those calves so well after being without a calf for a week, and 2 weeks.... Congrats on a great outcome from a less than good start for both.
