[QUOTE="mnmtranching, post: 649808, member: 3937"] The orphan has learned how to survive. It will steal milk at any chance from any cow. Usually while a calf is nursing its mother the orphan will get between the hind legs of the cow. The cow will move around but a persistent 2 month old calf will get its share. If your cows are on good feed and you don't notice any of the calves doing badly, leave them be. Starting a creep feed is a good idea. At 2 months the calves are also grazing and getting nutrients other then milk. [/QUOTE]
