Western Nebraska | Yes you can. We use a product called O-no-mo, seen it other places as Calf Claim, and a dose of tranquilizer. I believe that it is a mix of ACE and romp. Sprinkle the O-no-mo on the calf from head to tail and give the cow the tranquilizer. You may have to put her in the squeeze chute a couple of times to get the calf nursing, but once the calf figures it out and she is tranquillized for a couple of days the adoption should take. Keep them locked up together for several days, once she is mothering the calf you can turn them out. |
