[QUOTE="angie1, post: 715341, member: 3886"] LM ~ how old is your calf? Good idea not to put something on the cows udder. It is less common in cows that they will allow a calf that is not theirs to nurse from them ~ so if you put her in with a cow as opposed to a bred heifer, you should reduce your risk of that happening (unless the cow has a history of allowing others to nurse ~ if she has not, she should not). Are you concerned about the fact that a cow you are going to be using as seed stock for your future herd (and her heifer calf) cannot maintain weight on pasture while nursing a calf? I am wondering if circumstances would allow for that, or if you should consider just selling the heifer calf and the cow (which is why I asked about age of calf)..... What are your thoughts? Maybe there is an environmental reason? [/QUOTE]
