[QUOTE="BayerFooted, post: 1665417, member: 41503"] From North Dakota here, unfortunately, have some experience with this. Are you expecting more soon or just trying to harbor the two-three week old? If just the one calf, is there is anyway you can provide a bedded shelter with lots of straw (or hay if you don't have it) that the other cows cannot harass the sanctuary it will find that and snuggle in. If you put a pile of straw or hay out there.... Cows will be jerks and take rule of it. At 2-3 weeks he/she should be tough enough to endure this as long as momma is getting the water and calories she needs. She sounds like she was well conditioned going into this so that's a good base for good milk. [/QUOTE]
