[QUOTE="suzorse, post: 1140196, member: 17294"] I do not pull my dairy calves, I leave them with the cow and milk 2 times a day till the little sucker is taking it all, then I separate for 12 hours and milk what I want then let the calf have the rest and then turn them loose for the day or night , if I am having let down issues I pull the calf till she lets down or like this year I was having let down issues and edema issues with a first calf heifer so I pulled and sold her bull calf at 2 weeks old, as it was not good for her, calf prices are to high and out of my reach for getting her a decent foster, so I sell what milk I can and feed pigs and chickens with the rest as she is giving 7 to 8 gal a day and this is a Jersey / Brown Swiss X same size as a Jersey, and when I finally got her to let down she had a touch of mastitis ,so it was for her health that I got rid of her calf and have been bottle feeding the heifer from the cow I sold at the same time works for me at this time Suzanne [/QUOTE]
