[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1673686, member: 25884"] Some are just the best nurse cows and will take most anything..... Had an old guernsey that would have 4-5 following her all around.... they seemed to nurse in shifts.... she would mother - lick - talk to any and all babies you gave her. My jer/hol that has taken a bull calf off the heifer that prolapsed and then died.... just had 3 taken off her and sold. I was going to give her a break.... and then this calf situation happened, and so I stuck it in a pen with her, some grain, and it went on her and in 2 days she is talking to it and has claimed it.... and she had no calves on her for over 36 hours.... sold the 3 on early Fri morning, she got this calf on Sat eve.... I am ready to put her in a small pasture for a day or 2 to make sure he stays with her, then she will go up to the bigger pasture with him. She is a sweet heart. A cow like yours and mine are worth their weight in gold. [/QUOTE]
