[QUOTE="MattK, post: 1327136, member: 25229"] Hi, I had a cow give birth to a bull calf yesterday around 4:15. The calf was really trying to feed for quite a while. He slowly puttered out so I gave him some Lifeline colostrum. This morning I decided to get the cow in and try to milk her. Her teats would not milk....only one would produce milk. I took what I could and mixed it with the lifeline and had to tube the calf. I called the vet and he said to give her some oxytocin. I gave her the shot and her bag got more full however I still cannot get any milk out. Her teats feel hard on the inside. Any ideas on what to do to get her milking? I am going to switch to milk replacer now with a lamb nipple. Any other ideas? I hate having to tube the calf! [/QUOTE]
