[QUOTE="scheff, post: 1103209, member: 18408"] Hello, I have a heifer who gave her first calf a few days ago and both seem to be healthy. Today though I notice that the calf is being left on her own a lot and kicked away when trying to nurse. She is peeing, etc... so I guess she's getting some milk - but I don't see her getting much. The cow leaves the calf alone most of the day and tonight wandered off and left the calf behind. So I have two questions - is it common for the calf to be left behind and alone so often? And how often should tha calf be feeding? I brought the calf into the barnyard - but still the cow is nowhere around. Tomorrow I'll try to get her penned with the calf. How long can the calf go without nursing? Thanks in advance for your thoughts - I'm new! [/QUOTE]
