[QUOTE="SEC, post: 171743, member: 3241"] I would say watch the calf if it's bawling lots then it's hungry. Just because the calf is sucking lots doesn't mean it's hungry, just has an appetite. I would agree if you grain her that might help as well, but that doesn't mean she is going to milk better if she doesn't milk at all. Mother nature has a way of releasing milk as needed. We had a cow that had a bag which would fit in my hand and yet she produced one of the bigger calves all the time. If a calf isn't dry haired, pot bellied, the mother has enough milk. [/QUOTE]
