[QUOTE="I luv herfrds, post: 374813, member: 5917"] Had a weak calf this spring. It was about 10 days early and couldn't stand and nurse. I ended up with the cow in the head catch and the calf across my lap while sitting on a 5gal. bucket. Calf is doing great. Sometimes with the weak ones if they have not gotten up to suck in about 4-5 hours it is best to help them if the cow is calm enough. Like Beefy said check and see if the cow is letting down her milk. I was shown a cow that looked like it would have a ton of milk, but the bag was empty. I was chewed out by a vet one time for giving a new born some milk replacer. The colostrum I had stored was still frozen at the time. Let us know how it is going. [/QUOTE]
