[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1002774, member: 9096"] I have a bunch of cows that aren't udderly protective, especially at feeding time when they're all around the manger... some of the calves get good at it too and are really sneaky or persistent. I wouldn't let a calf suck on a cow who hasn't had her own yet, and even after that, only if she's got more milk than her calf can handle... and I keep it in mind when I select replacement heifers... was she a thief and is that the reason she looks good.
