[QUOTE="Stepper, post: 209109, member: 3398"] milkmaid, Ok this is what i am wondering. My neighbor had a first time heifer to have a calf (vet had to pull it) She had now got to the point that she can not hardly get up because of pinched nerve during calving. ( vet says eventually she wont ever get up again.) She has a good looking little bull calve. Well about a week ago he had another first time heifer to try and have a calve. But the vet wound up having to cut the calve into 3 peaces to get it out. So it does not have a calve now. She is a real gentle heifer. Easy to handle but her milk has since dryed up. What i was wondering is. Would it be possiable to take the calve from the crippled heifer and put it on the healthy heifer even though her milk has dry up if she would accept it ? The neighbor is going to take the crippled heifer to the sale barn and try to raise the calve on a bottle. I was wondering how this would work just in case this happens to me some day. [/QUOTE]
