[QUOTE="redcowsrule33, post: 734320, member: 8629"] If she has been nursing that other calf for very long I'd let her keep doing it until she starts to calve. She most likely will take her own calf [b]as long as they are separated.[/b] What you need to do ASAP is get a good colostrum replacement as this cow won't have it for her calf any more. Get it into the calf as soon as it's born, or you'll have a calf with zero immunity. If you can't be there to watch her all day separate when you leave and put her back in when you come back. You could get mastitis if you quit now. [/QUOTE]
