[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 14287"] IMHO dunmovin's 05/08/02 advice was right on. I had a similar situation with a heifer and gave her one more year -- she had another great looking calf and walked away from it too, without a care. She's lucky I had already put my hunting rifle away for the season. Have talked to others in my area and the general feeling is that if they do it with the first calf they are very likely to continue the lack of mothering in the future. Better to not waste any more time and money on her medicine, wormers, winter feeding, etc. Sell her and use the proceeds towards a replacement, perhaps buy a "pair" with a real young calf. [/QUOTE]
