[QUOTE="MurraysMutts, post: 1813112, member: 39373"] I bet she came from a dairy huh? Them cows are used to being milked while eating. Just old hat to them! During the cold months I feed twice a day, so it's no big deal. Eleanor eats and the calves eat twice a day while they get it together. 😆 Can't remember off the top of my head, but Bessie is the only one that'll take any calf any time. I pen her mainly so THAT calf gets acquainted and knows thats it's new mama. Usually a week or so with her. Eleanor and The other one I had before her both took a couple weeks before they quit being kicky. O! If ya wanna speed it up..... The cow is penned right? Hobble her. She can't kick. And it'll slow her down if she's shoving them with her head. The calves suddenly become so much faster than a hobbled cow! 😆 I prefer not to hobble I think it was [USER=25884]@farmerjan[/USER] who had a "kicking wench" 🤣 I don't recall what she ever did with her...
