[QUOTE="CattleAnnie, post: 165628, member: 220"] Yeah, I know this sounds gross, but it works. When the calf is sucking, you can also gently rub the rectum. It seems to encourage a calf to suck harder, and will help with the constipation because it also stimulates bowel movements (cows usually do this themselves, but seeing as your heifer is not an experienced or overly interested mother, you might try it). PS. If you're not intersted in hobbling her, Dun knows how to tie a rope around the flank to keep a cow from kicking it's calf. Sounds like a neat trick. Take care. [/QUOTE]
