[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1544855, member: 14585"] Never put a calf on her before calving as that can cause her to reject her own. Best time to get her to accept both is the same day of calving. Penning together works best and I prefer tying her head for the 1st feeding or 2 to make sure the adopted calf knows where it's milk will be found from now on. When selecting graft calves I prefer strong calves a week or more old in case they have to fight to get accepted or steal milk to get fed. [/QUOTE]
