[QUOTE="spinandslide, post: 578355, member: 5559"] thanks all. :) TNMBP-Figured there would be some pecking order figuring out..just dont want any major injuries. :) Hillsdown, this calf loves her feed. We put the horses on a new feed, as its cheaper in bulk and its alfalfa pellets mixed with corn, barley and oats. She goes crazy for it and licks her pan clean. That feed really helped her transition off the bottle well. and of course, she eats her hay and grass. Just needs to realize that feed time means eat..the heifer eats like a cow thats been with others her entire life, woof it down or someone else will get it. :) Richard, if Big Mama wants to be really bad about stealing feed, Ill get hubs to divide the lot..but Im hoping they can get along well enough, think they both would appreciate some bovine company. although my neighbor is convinced the old lady will try to trample any other cow that shes with. :o Im going to give her abit more credit then that. shes been interested in the longhorns 3 pastures down from her here lately. 2B-That is why Im wanting this calf to have plenty of time weaned before I put her in with the heifer. I was afraid she would try to nurse off the heifer as well..and this heifer may be bred..due in Feb. I dont want the BC messing anything up with her milk supply. That must have been a super headache for you! [/QUOTE]
