[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1188313, member: 16453"] I think you might have jumped the gun a bit and if left alone things would have happened by themselves with the milk and all. It is hard to know what to do in situations like this and taking the calf was probably the safest option. I find that you will get the occaisional heifer or cow for that matter that shows signs a bit different, may strain for a bit as they are feeling uncomfortable with the calf and it can be very stressfull just watching and waiting. No one, even the most experienced cattle vet can accurately say when it is the appropriate time to intervene and by taking it everyone can get some sleep. Sounds like the calf will get going and hopefully the heifer will eventually come on with her milk. All the best with them. Ken [/QUOTE]
