[QUOTE="MurraysMutts, post: 1621777, member: 39373"] She sounds like a hot mess... lol Been thinking about that mama I grafted the orphan on. The one I spoke about above. She has raised all her own calves since, with no issue. Just makes me laugh about the chute thing. When I would show up morning or evening, she would actually run into the alley for the chute. Like that was the only place that calf was allowed to nurse or something. LMAO! What a twat! It got to where the baby would try and nurse outside of the chute area as they were quite bonded, but not enough that mama would stay still, if that makes sense. Cow (was a heifer that lost her first calf) would dance around and anytime the calf would get close enough to nurse would kick at it. I spent an evening babysitting once when I was bored. Sat by the pen have a beverage and what not. Every time that poor confused first calf heifer would kick, I would yell profanities at her. She would focus her attention on me just long enough for that baby to get latched on. She hated profanity I guess, because eventually mama and baby were one with nature. Well, shoving a trough full of cubes in front of her with hay piled in it too seemed to get her attention as well. Anyway..... just felt like sharing I guess. Best of luck! [/QUOTE]
