[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1772400, member: 25884"] That's the only problem with nurse cows... if you keep the calves they will go on anything that will stand even months after they are weaned... but as babies, they will sneak on another cow if their "momma" is not making enough milk... I had several 1st calf beef heifers, raised together, bred and calved in the same time frame and several co-nursed calves.. see 2 or 3 on one of them and then later on a different one... the calves all grew good so I can't say anyone milked bad... but then it is harder to weed out one that is not pulling her weight... Gotta keep the calves away from any lactating animal until they have their own and then they usually have given it up. [/QUOTE]
