[QUOTE="Roger/OH, post: 234904, member: 273"] I have a calf that was born Mon. Yesterday The calf was laying half outside the fence. After, 2 hours I went out and nudge the calf back inside. The calf went to mom and nursed. Today, I went out to give an injection of BoCee.The calf layed there and I gave it the shot. All the other calves at 3 days I have had to chase down to give them an injection. Mom and the others cows weren't protective like usual. Normally, they all come running when the calf bawls. They just walked up and watched. Mom has plenty of milk, but after 3 days her uttter is just as full as the day the calf was born. This is the 5th calf from this cow. I have seen this calf at the teat several times. Don't know if he is getting anything. I have lost 2 calves this year and may be a little paronoid, but determined not to lose another. I have milk replacer on hand that I will mix up and offer the calf. At what point do you pull the calf from mom? Something is not right or maybe laidback calf. [/QUOTE]
