[QUOTE="Dsth, post: 1742425, member: 38038"] welcome to the CT forum. I lost a cow last year because of a mastitis problem. her calf was 2 weeks old at the time. I tried to bottle feed but calf was not interested or hungry enough to drink. found out calf was robbing off a first calf heifer that was also a daughter of the same cow. calf learned soon to start robbing off other cows (herd of 25 cows/calves.) at weaning time, calf was same size or even bigger than others in the group. I would just keep an eye on the calf and see if it starts bawling for mom or looks like it is loosing weight. I kept that calf as a replacement and is short bred now and hopefully she will replace her mom as one of my favorite cows. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
