Okay, here is the situation. 2-year old Heifer just gave birth 3 hours ago to nice looking calf. Being a heifer, she was hesitant at first to let it nurse, (I was watching from a distance) but finally she figured it out and I saw the calf nursing. In fact, I was close enough to hear the slurping. But, heifer doesn't look like she has much of a bag, and I didn't see any milk on the nose of the calf. Now, calf and mom are resting. Things look and feel okay, but iam just wondering if I should intervene and give some colostrum. Any thoughts folks? Thanks.
