[QUOTE="Hippie Rancher, post: 833065, member: 4203"] If the heifer is still sucking on the cow they need to be separated. and if the cow drops her next calf pretty soon it may need some extra colostrum if he can get it - the heifer may have been stealing it (and the heifer's new calf may go to stealing it too - in a group like this they will likely let each other's calves take from either momma - not a big huge deal, except for the colostrum and if one calf is bigger than the other and gets greedy. Not the best way to manage but not that bad for the animals if everybody has enough to eat. If the heifer is real young she probably will need some extra feed. [/QUOTE]
