[QUOTE="BRAFORDMAN, post: 831192, member: 14817"] NIce calf. I had one heifer who let one calve( not all my calves just one bull calf )nurse after she calved. I kept her. This is not always a bad thing. The best commercial cow I ever owned was struck by lightning two weeks after having her first calf. I hoped the baby would steal milk from that cow, and she did, The calf was 2 months younger than the cows calf, and even after weaning the cows actual calf, she still let the orphan calve nurse another two months. She raised a total of 3 calves that year. Her own calve, a bull calve who liked to nurse her and his mom, and the orphan, cow stayed in good condition and and the calves weaned right lalong the weights of their siblings. The turned up open the next year, but i gave her a break(3 calves in one year), and she is really raising her second calve, a thick beefmaster cross bull. [/QUOTE]
