[QUOTE="ANAZAZI, post: 1232004, member: 7541"] Some times the cow pushes the calf over when it tries to rise and she is cleaning it. This does not seem to discourage the calf in any way. The calf needs some stimui to work right. Also, the calf tail is supposed to move from side to side while it is nursing, this signals that the milk is going where it should (into the abomasum). That start so much easier when the cow is able to groom the calf when it is nursing - those that graft calves can look out for this and possibly handle the calf like a cow would (more pressure when touching it).
