Ok.. I want to hear your ideas on how you have gotten a cow to accept a calf from a different cow.
I have heard plenty of ideas from puttting kerosene on the calf's back and mother's nose, to skinning a calf and putting the hide on the "new" calf.
I have usually just put the cow in a chute and gotten the new calf up and had it suck until that first milk has come out; then the cow usually accepts the new calf.
I hope I explained myself well... but lets hear your ideas.
