[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 901884, member: 2308"] We have a Holstein. She raises us 2-3 calves a year, I know she could probably do more, but we don't have time for that. The best way to adopt is to have the calf/s that you want to adopt onto her ready when she calves. Last year it worked out great. The adoptee calf was born about 3 hours before she calved. All we did was put him in with her right before she calved, tied his legs up and that was it.... Usually, we hobble her for about a week with her calves then she is good. She is a excellent cow! We don't grain her, but she is grazing on our best pasture for the year. She winters with the bred heifers. [/QUOTE]
