[QUOTE="bandit80, post: 522321, member: 7956"] Sometimes it just takes a few days for a calf to figure out there are 4 of them. You saying she is an older cow, leads me to think she has probably raised many calves. A cows nipples will normally get a little longer and a little bigger around as she ages. If the front nipples are much bigger than the back two, it is probably a matter of the calf getting easier access to the rear nipples. When he gets a few days older, he will be able to latch on to the fronts. If the cow has a good udder, it is probably the first. If the cow does not have a good udder, it is probably the second.
