[QUOTE="Dsth, post: 1648160, member: 38038"] as long as she licked and cleaned the calf, she has claimed it as her calf. her udder may be sore being a first calf heifer. hopefully the calf got enough colostrum the first 12 hours. as long as the calf is persistent and gets enough milk to satisfy itself, I wouldn't worry about it. once she figures out that her udder feels better after the calf sucks, she will be more likely to let it suck longer. If you are worried to the point that you are uncomfortable not assisting you could try giving the calf a bottle to see how hungry it is. good luck [/QUOTE]
