[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 828325, member: 3162"] No Problem. Its good you are back posting in the forum. There's something like 42 calves in the herd at the moment that are 4 months and less. They get hard to count the way they move around. I can promise you a few will try to nurse any cow that will let them. They do that. If another cow let them nurse, they'd be robbing another one of my calves. That is the problem I have with the older heifer in the first place and that's why I would ship her. I've been there. Its probably wrong of me but I blame this one more than the bottle calf. That calf has probably tried to nurse any and everything. Only one gave in. If you were willing to hold that heifer solo in a pasture, she'd work for you. I personally don't have the time to individually accomodate each and every one. That's why I'd ship her and the bottle calf too. I am already going to cull some nice heifers. She'd make the list of culls on the next ride. [/QUOTE]
