[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 1086760, member: 3162"] First off, the calf lives. Be it a bottle or whatever. I have a nursing crate for my nurse cow. 3 years ago I had a heifer reject her calf. Put her in a squeeze with a head gate and got the calf hooked up. Then I loaded them in a trailer and hauled them here to the house. Twice a day the heifer was crated and the calf nursed. Calf kept the cow's scent that way and she finally accepted it. Then I hauled her back to the pasture. Probably a week or so later. If one of my nurse cows had been wet at the time that heifer would have gone to the sale barn alone. Cypress suggested I give the heifer another try. I did and she has worked out. [/QUOTE]
