[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 991742, member: 18809"] Dun She does not seem huge by any means, but I think that is the problem. She just has to be worked into it. Today, same thing. I doubt he is eating between our visits (today at 7:30 and 1), because when he sees me come in, he jumps up and runs to her udder. She just kicks him away, and he looks between her front legs then. Once I get behind her and start to scratch, he moves back to her udder and goes to town. She flicks her tail at us, but allows him to eat. If I walk away once he is latched on and going good, she is fine UNLESS he punches her udder, then she flicks her tail and walks away from him. I am sure she will get over it, I just want to make sure he is nursing on his own before I stop assisting. I think once her production levels out, she will get used to it and it will be no big thing. She just seems super sensitive about it... Here is a pic taken yesterday afternoon of her and her calf... [img]http://ranchers.net/photopost/data/500/minty_2013.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
