[QUOTE="Workinonit Farm, post: 390320, member: 839"] Is it possible that the side that looks 'empty' or dry is actually the only two quarters that the calf sucks from? The calf will probably get enough. If the 2 quarters are truly empty/dead, the remaining 2 quarters should provide enough for the calf. Just keep an eye on the calf. If the baby is up and sucking and going from tit to tit and up and sucking again with little time in between, that's an indication that the calf is not getting enough. When you see the calf suck, when it is finished has it got that foamy look? Does it look satisfied? The 'empty' side may never fill. If she has another calf this could happen again.
