[QUOTE="Till-Hill, post: 1002145, member: 16547"] Got same problem. Calf sucking on first calf heifer and she due 18th. I will just give calf colostrum replacer as with this weather we have here in NE Iowa I can't send pairs to pasture and only got one yard to lock cows up in. Deal with what I got and hope it works out. Alot of our cows when locked up for first month or so it's a combined effort to raise calves but once on pasture they pair up again and mostly stay with their own. Good or bad I don't know maybe you can't pinpoint a poor milking cow right away but you can watch them and see if it's always the same robber. Biggest fear I have is them not so perfect udders the calf gets used to the easy ones and gets lazy and could ruin a 1/4 on a cow..... [/QUOTE]
