[QUOTE="MurraysMutts, post: 1810660, member: 39373"] I just don't think there is any more out there like Bessie!, [USER=25884]@farmerjan[/USER] After working with a couple other cows, I realize how fortunate I am. Brandy did pretty good but she got unwell and I had to sell her. Eleanor can be a bit persnickity about some calves. She actually shoved this new one down the other day. Then proceeded to start licking on him!! Jeebus! This time around I took your advice with Bessie, as she CAN be difficult at times. I kept her 2 big calves in the pen with her but seperated by panels. It was the easiest graft to date I think. Kept em all like that for about a week. Her old calves couldn't nurse. Killed two birds with one stone. Weaned the calves AND the two new calves got plenty to eat and bonded. When I turned em all out she never even missed her old calves. Bessie has only had ONE calf she absolutely would not bond with. She would allow it to nurse while she was being fed tho. I flipped that calf for a quick profit. Weird how they just won't accept one sometimes. Must be the smell or some other weird thing I don't get. [/QUOTE]
