[QUOTE="3G-A-farm, post: 366820, member: 5518"] Dun, The calf is 10 weeks old, and is in very good shape. I watched it graze tonight in the pasture for about 45 minutes. I haven't seen it nursing any cow. it wanders around with the other 3 calves in its age group eating our new grass pasture. The momma cow wanders around bawling... they are now confined to a 10 acre area. From my observations the calf is normal. I spent about 3 hours out there this afternoon, and am off tomorrow so will be in the pasture most of the day. I have not seen it nurse any other cow. And I have been in the pasture numerous times through the evenings since I have one heifer left to calve. mdmdogs3, we are constantly watching the suspect calf, as we also have the feeling it is nursing another cow. I have one gebvieh x angus that is a very good momma cow, and we are watching her also. They are now in 10 acres behind our house. I will watch tomorrow and report back. Am concerned about her having a bag problem, as her right back quarter is BIG, and I milked it out last night around midnight. I may have the first calf to ever wean itself?!?! Will report back tomorrow..thanks..Bill [/QUOTE]
