[QUOTE="Chris H, post: 529181, member: 1974"] How can you cope? If you are religious then look at raising the animal as your God given responsibility, and eating the beef is the sustenance for your body to do His will. Care for your animals humanely, but remember they are not human. Being a good steward of the land and animals means you will be producing animals whose purpose is to be food for humans. Unless you are getting a beef cow, you will have more milk than the calf needs, but not necessarily more than the calf can eat. Some people will pen the cow & calf separately, milk the cow and feed the calf any excess over what you keep, as long as the calf gets 2 quarts 2/day minimum. For a high producing milk cow, that's probably best for the cow. An alternative is to separate the calf for 12 hours, take what milk you need, then turn the calf loose to nurse the rest. [/QUOTE]
