[QUOTE="dun, post: 30448, member: 34"] First of all, the size of the udder doesn't necesarrily correlate to the amount of milk. Calves frequently spend the first few days sleeping an laying around. If the calf nurses and doesn't keep buggin the heifer every few minutes it's probably getting enough. But, there is alwasy a but, if you aren't sure or haven;t seen the calf nursing, a supplement of high quality milk replacer is pretty cheap insurance. If you can milk another cow from your herd and feed that it's a betteer deal, last choice would be milk from a different herd. dun [/QUOTE]
