[QUOTE="txag, post: 57011, member: 8"] if the cow is accepting both calves and has enough milk, i wouldn't bottle-feed it. what i would do is separate [b]both[/b] calves from the cow and then only let her in with them a couple of times/day, long enough to nurse & bond a little. let the weaker one in first (maybe for about 5-10 min & then let the other one in too). if your cow is gentle enough & tolerates your presence while they're nursing, work the calves around so they're on opposite sides of the cow & not fighting on the same side.
