[QUOTE="mgman, post: 511330, member: 647"] I agree with those who recommend getting the calf/calves grafted on to the cow asap. I have a couple of brown swiss nurse cows and I've had very good luck with them accepting multiple calves along with their own when I put the new calf/calves on as soon as the newborn has gotten it's colostrum. Another thing to consider-my experience has been that most dairy cows have more milk than 2 calves can handle...usually a third is needed to keep up with the high volume of milk a dairy cow produces when she first calves.
