[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1336180, member: 24027"] Good to know, thanks! We had such a mild winter/spring & zero calving issues so I'm stocked up on replacer. We've only had 2 heifers that wouldn't let their calves nurse: First one dropped her calf, took one look & skipped town. Had to pen them together for a week before she'd accept her calf - and she bawled the most when we weaned. Second one prolapsed & wasn't in the mood after all the drama & getting stitched (I don't blame her). That heifer was a bottle calf & when we brought another bottle down for her baby the next morning (this time it was just the supplement) she wanted it so my husband let her suck the bottle while I got her calf latched on (We also gave that heifer a bottle to keep her occupied while I took out her stitches in the middle of the pasture :)). Both have turned out to be great mama's! [/QUOTE]
