[QUOTE="Lawson Farms, post: 962599, member: 14971"] We have a cow who calved on Monday. This is her second calf. She left her calf, and then tried to steal another cow's calf that was already a week old. She would knock her calf around with her head, and kick it off when it wanted to suck, then would chase the week old calf's mama away when it's calf came to suck. We separated her and her calf from the herd. She attacked it in the pen. So now we have them in neighboring pens. We tail her up in the chute to let the calf suck 2x per day. We turned her out in another pasture last night to let her be social while keeping her away from the calf she's tried to steal. I've said we'd give her until sale day next tuesday to get her act together. Is that long enough? We could bottle the calf for a few days until one of our holsteins calved. [/QUOTE]
