[QUOTE="Victoria, post: 171716, member: 1258"] You'd think a Semm. cross would have a pretty visible bag. :? I'd be going by what the calf does and how full the stomach feels after a feeding. The more the calf drinks the more milk should come in. I'd supplement the calf if he really needs it, and maybe give something to his mother to help bring in the milk. When we had a cow here helping us raise four calves we went to our local feed store and they gave us a dairy cow ration (sorry, I don't remember all that was in it) that would help her to produce more milk. It seemed to increase the milk, not by huge amounts but it saved us some milk replacer and feeding the cow was cheaper than feeding the calf. [/QUOTE]
