[QUOTE="Medic24, post: 171557, member: 1101"] Well, my bad, yeah I should have given more details...so sorry.........Second calf for herefordXsemmintal. I guesstimate approx 3-4 years old. I have owned her for only this past year. Oddly, I am not new to the cattle game , but every calving season brings new challenges..........even those that require not more then to be handled with common sense.......but I still always appreciate and respect opinions of others.And I do mess up. I will likely suppliment for just a few days, in anticipation of her mum dropping more milk, then see how she does. I am going to judge the milk production strictly upon the behaviour of the calf. Tell me if I am in the ball park........ IF I see the calf sucking on her 24/7 this may very well mean, she is not giving much. If the calf is running around with spunk and vigor, this should be a good sign.......if it is walking or laying listlessly..........means not enuff milk. If I see good size poop piles with correct colour......should be a good sign. Perhaps I worry to much....................but I try and play it safe when it involves part of my income.....not to mention, I would simply hate to see anything not thrive..................so am I missing anything. :?: :?: :?: [/QUOTE]
