[QUOTE="hersh, post: 738408, member: 4777"] is nursing. little background on the mom. she is 3 year old heifer, she just wouldnt get pregnant. Now she did, and i had to pull the calf. she has 2 extra small tits but the main 4 are huge. after she gave birth and laying down I squeezed her tit to make sure no mastitus and it seemed ok, but she didnt like it. the calf is a little bull and healthy and atleast 100lb. did I say these are charolais? Anyways I pulled him at 7:30 yesterday and havnt seen it nursing. They are up in the barn and he butts her neck and sucks every where but the few times I seen him around the utters she lifts her leg to push him away. not sure if he has sucked yet or not but today I went and got some colostrum and fed him a quart and half with my wife. I had to hold him but he sucked it all down. her tits are pink but just cant tell. I will watch but got some milk replacer so I am ready. Please give advise on things to watch, the calf is healthy and mom licks him and is not happy when I fool with him. [/QUOTE]
