[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 10315"] It's not unusual for a cow to claim one calf and ignore the other. How old are they? By the time they are a week or two old the ignored one will go looking for mom when she wants to be fed. The important part is that she is getting adequate groceries and mom lets her nurse. dunmovin farms > I've got a great set of twin > heifers that are driving me crazy. > The cow has enough milk and is > getting extra feed to keep it that > way. The calves are "A" > and "B". A is always > near her mom. lays down inches > from her and gets up is mom starts > to move away. B always finds a > "safe" place to nap in > hiding and doesn't always notice > when mom walks away. Mom never > looks for B as long as A is there > to nurse.
