Holy Grafting!

Had a cow lose her calf around 5 days ago. Had another cow have twins. The day after the twins were born hubby ran the cow with no calf into the barn. I tried to get the cow to take a twin. She was not settling down so figured it was not going to work. So just left them all together in the barn. Daughter went to check them and caught a twin sucking on the cow. So last night we put the cow in a pen with one calf. Not a happy cow. She kept trying to get out. Thought about it and pulled out the one calf and put in the other twin. Happy cow!
So weird she wanted this one calf over the other one.
Pretty neat that this cow took this calf having lost her calf so long ago.

A lot of times when they get the cows milk pumping all the way through them, the cow decides that it is hers.

That's great happy for you and the mama cow.

Checked them last night and all was going well. Told hubby we should leave them in the pen for at least a week so they bond really well and that way there is no confusion when they go out to pasture.
