[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 17458"] Hi, I hope some of you can shed light on my problem... New calf born early this am - rolled under elec wire and hence mum could not continue licking her. I found not long afterwards in a state of increasing hypothermia. Treated hypothermia successfully. However, despite following her mum all day - she has not yet "latched - on" to udder. I ended up bringing both into yards and trying to help little one attach to udder. All fine so long as I helped but she just doesn't seem to be able to manage it alone. I will milk mother and put in bottle for baby tomorrow and hope she eventually takes to udder. Any suggestions as to why this occurs? Also any suggestions on best course of action would help. Another q... while mother cow was in head bail in yards, I noticed parts of the cow's leg and shoulders shaking somewhat - does this suggest anything to anyone out there? Many thanks [email=janeatkinson@thepacific.net]janeatkinson@thepacific.net[/email] [/QUOTE]
