[QUOTE="Double R Ranch, post: 537876, member: 411"] Hello all, I was hoping to hear from those of you who have nurse cows. I have read of this a bit on her and heard of others doing it and getting enjoyment out of it. I was hoping you could tell me the basics about them. Ie. Picking a nurse cow, "training" a nurse cow (if any)(halter braking? etc.), care of a nurse cow, how to tell how many calves and also when to add calves and when to wean and let calve again. Obviously you would wean the usuall dry period before calving. Any info would be great. Have an option for inexpensive drop calves and was looking at a 4 month old holstein that was offered to me for a VERY REASONABLE price. thanks for the info. DBL R [/QUOTE]
