[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1672313, member: 24816"] I used to raise dairy calves on nurse cows. It depends on the cow, some are easy to work with and some are nightmares. If the cow is nursing her own calf it usually makes it much easier to get other calves on her too. I let the cows in a stall with the calves and they nursed while she ate. It’s also easier if the calves are strong and forward trying to nurse. If they are unsure or timid then some cows will not react well to that and can scare them even more. [/QUOTE]
