I've never been successful after 48 hours if you want to "fool" the cow into thinking its hers. The cow loses her ability to milk before a week unless you milk her out daily. If you force her to stand for the calf twice a day you have a fair chance she will take it in a week or so. Confine her to a small pen with the calf between forced nursings. [/QUOTE]
