[QUOTE="SconnieBeef, post: 1105835, member: 20184"] Thanks everyone for awesome input, well after work I had to build a windbreak for the other pair and I then went to check on the confused mom and calf, the calf was laying down but I rousted the calf up to see if I could get her nursing, the first couple tries the heifer seem a little hesitant, gave a couple really half-hearted kicks and then I stood there for a half hour or so after that and she let the calf nurse for that whole time without any troubles. She was really patient as the little heifer calf looked for the udder and licked her hind end when she was sucking. I think they are finally starting to figure things out after a long and eventful day for the both of them. :D Feels Good [/QUOTE]
