[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1600288, member: 25884"] Yeah, they will sometimes do that especially if another cow is that close to calving, her hormones will kick in and she will be wanting a calf even before she has her own. See that in the dairy cattle some, if there are a bunch in a dry lot / calving lot, there will often be one that will want to mother any and all new calves and even try to take a calf away from its' own mother just because her hormones have kicked in and she wants to be "the mom". Glad the cow has plenty of milk to feed them. Since you also have a creep pen for calves after they get a little older, they ought to do just fine for you. [/QUOTE]
