[QUOTE="chippie, post: 716833, member: 5644"] Baby calves nurse small amounts for a short time. If you are concerned that it is not getting enough. Look at the calf's left side in the hollow in front of the point of the hip bone. If it is getting anything, this area will look full. It it isn't, the area will be very hollow. I agree with the udder. It has horrible center ligament support. If it is a heifer, don't keep her as a replacement cow. Either eat her or ship her. And ship the cow too. If you are really concerned, call your vet to check them. You really should have left them alone after birth so that the cow could take care of her calf. Sounds like you had a real preventable wreck.
