[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1814359, member: 25884"] I have also found that if you put BOTH calves on the same side... with the one she claims closer to her, that she will turn around and smell that calf and will then mostly ignore that there are 2 calves on her and the other one is able to nurse. Both sides often confuses a cow.... yes the calf is closer to the leg to get kicked, but if the one she "claims" is closer to her and she can turn her head and smell it and lick it, the 2nd calf doesn't seem to trigger a "rejection" as often. That is when they often learn to sneak in on the back of the cow too... easier access to the teats. [/QUOTE]
