blueridge":nvfzh7zz said:this is the cows fourth calf and she has never had a problem with providing plenty of milk. the calf is nursing. when the calf gets up it stretches and moves fine and doesn't appear to have abanormalities orther than size. will there be an issue with the cow if the calf is not consuming enough milk from her? with the cow delivering 6 weeks early had she produced coloctrum yet?
