[QUOTE="cowgirl8, post: 1622295, member: 22072"] Is the calf up? I'd lock her up with it. If it doesn't nurse or she wont let it, then put her in the chute and make her nurse it. I had a cow do this this year. Don't know why, but she was confused. We put her in the chute and let it nurse a couple times a day, eventually, she quit rejecting it. This was an older cow too.... happens with heifers, but sometimes with cows too....Calf need colostrum within 12 hours, no longer than 24.... give it to it yourself if you have to.... Milk the cow and bottle it into the calf... but you need to make sure that the calf gets it in time.. [/QUOTE]
