[QUOTE="Kelly, post: 38992, member: 314"] I had a cow that went through that every year. You need to milk out daily the teats that are not getting nursed on so they continue to produce milk. Eventually as the calf gets stronger and hungrier it will nurse on the others also as long as they have been milked out . If it seems hungry you might have to bottle feed it. If you use her milk - make sure it is good fresh milk & not stringy or bloody milk. Also you can try to put her in the head stall and help the calf get the hang of nursing on the other teats after you have emptied them a little. [/QUOTE]
