[QUOTE="Nite Hawk, post: 1552427, member: 18682"] Short of a bullet, anyone ever dealt with a self sucker? I weaned off a calf from a Dexter, and the booger started sucking herself. I put a crown weaner in her nose and she still manages to get around it. I can put the larger one in, and hope it hurts enough she quits or try the butterfly weaner.. I had a goat years ago I shipped out because of this very issue, she ruined her udder.. and I simply got rid of her.. This cow is bred and house by herself so she won't teach the other cows her !@$##$ I would like to get the calf off of her, but realize unless I can break her there wont be milk for the calf, and she would end up teaching the calf bad habits. She is naturally polled and those genetic are very rare in this area, and I can't pawn her off on someone else--that's not right--unless she goes out to auction as "doubtful health" any thoughts? thanks [/QUOTE]
