[QUOTE="SPJ, post: 975411, member: 18271"] Two cows: one calved on Sunday, one calved on Monday. I have them pinned up so I can check on them easier. I give them water, hay and cubes every morning and every night. The Sunday calf was up and running right from the start. The Monday calf was just the opposite. When I checked on the Monday calf that night, she was just a slow poke. I did check the pen and found yellow poop in it. So I thought she was just a slow starter. So Tuesday when I checked on them the same thing. More poop in the pen but still slow getting around. So Wednesday when I checked on her is when I touched her and she did not feel right. So that is when I saw how large the mother's teat was. So I checked all four teats. Three of them a couple of squeezes and milk so I stopped. The huge one I did squeeze until I got milk. I thought I was helping her. Tonight when I checked on them, both calves are up and running but the cows teat is getting bigger and yes I left them alone. Thanks, Phil [/QUOTE]
