[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 668186, member: 968"] Being HUNGRY isn't the issue - it's instinct. And even if the cow is dry, if the cow allows the calf to suck - it is definately not good for her udder & she can come back into milk production. Just like a heifer sucking another heifer & getting her to come into milk - or create mastitis. But, in our management, we wouldn't ever put the calves in with the cows because we keep seperate feed groups - replacement heifers - bred 1st & 2nd calf females & mature cows - for winter feeding.
