[QUOTE="Beefy, post: 265464, member: 57"] like dun said it depends on both the milk and the cow. as far as acceptance goes some cows will accept a calf within a day and some may take 2 weeks or more (if ever). In your case the milk part is what i wouldnt be concerned about the most unless you have been milking her out. by about the 5th day they will normally have pretty much stopped milking. i have had some that had stopped come back into milk very good and others that came back in but didnt milk enough to do much more than sustain the calf. the long away she is away from a calf the harder it will probably be to graft one on her. (*disclaimer this info regarding beef cattle only) [/QUOTE]
