[QUOTE="dieselbeef, post: 654766, member: 4655"] had a hiefer calf die after 3 weeks....found her under a tree alying down real weak and raspy breathin. seemed to havebeen fine about 2 days before..momma kept her well hid so i didnt see her everyday and never in tha same place so the next one i got to calf anyday now is gettin sucked down by another calf thats about 2 mo old . his mommas got plenty but hes hits any bag he can..so i put the one comin into the past out front with a creep feeder and a roll of hay. lotta shade..twice she busted down the fence to get back to the herd.... tore up the gate and the fence along the drive to get out... working all wek. wont get back to fixin it til sat..gonna be puttin some elec wire cross the top all around the past this time....hope i get to it before she calfs. the question tho is if the steer keeps suckin her bag will she have colostrum for her own calf...is it a birthing function per say or is it a function of being new milk. meaning will the milk thief have used up all the good stuff some days i swear..that fence didnt last 12 hrs after 5 hrs of werk. and i used some high dollar retop 9 gauge cattle fence w/barbed wire behind it so she couldnt push it..but she lifted it up and loosesend the posts....eerrrrrrrrr :cry2: [/QUOTE]
