[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 76473, member: 852"] >>The cow was overdue by 2 weeks per vet palpatation.<< I've seen a vet be off by as much as 40-45 days either way. :shock: And this was a good repro vet, too. I wouldn't automatically assume this cow was overdue. How about getting a graft calf to put on the cow, and putting the heifer on milk replacer? :lol: Might take less of your time, but $$$... Seriously though, I'd sure be looking for an easier/quicker way to do things. It takes a significant amount of time to milk a cow and then bottle feed a calf, esp if neither one are cooperative.
