[QUOTE="Sir Loin, post: 962908, member: 5601"] IMO, the problem is with the calf and not the momma. If as a first time heifer she raised a good calf and now as a 2nd time heifer she is rejecting her calf, she has detected a problem with her calf while cleaning it through either taste or smell. It is my experience that calves that are rejected by their momma and bottle fed have a mortality rate of around 50 % before they reach 300 lbs. for no apparent reason. If you have the time, bottle feed the calf or sell it and give momma another chance . SL [/QUOTE]
