[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1847325, member: 25884"] Many dairy calves seem to be more likely to be willing to graft on to cows, and then steal milk whenever/wherever they can. Saving grace for grafting many times... but yeah... they will over do it. I do not let my dairy cows take "their calves"out with them for 2-3 weeks minimum... cows come in to the calves twice a day, then will be with just their calves in a smaller field for several weeks so the calves do not just go looking for an "udder"... Some are worse than others... then finally let the cows out with their calves and still will see them trying any cow they can get up to... some never try other cows. Immodium pill down their throat to "stop them up".... metamucil or something with psyllium husk does a good job too.... don't need drugs, just something to slow it down, make it thicker... and they will feel fuller so will eventually stop always wanting to nurse...
