[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1722353, member: 24816"] I’ve not had a whole lot of success stories getting a heifer to claim a calf if she doesn’t right away. Sometimes they can claim the calf but be sensitive around their udder and kick the calf off. If that’s the case then getting them in a chute and check the udder, and try to get the calf to nurse. Sometimes that will solve that, but if she just ignores the calf and is trying to get out of the barn then I would sell her if it were mine. [/QUOTE]
