[QUOTE="sheep&cows&stuff, post: 6726833, member: 43682"] I have a batch of 5 lovely maiden heifers - all from 8 months to around 14 months old. The oldest one at 14 months old stands up and lets herself be sucked by 2 of the other heifers (one a year old and one 8 months old). Both have been weaned a fair length of time (one at 8 months old was weaned at 3 months as mammy died of red water). Going to put nose bits on the 2 offenders this evening to try and cut out the sucking, as it would inevitably give the 14 month old one dry feline (mastitus). Now - does anyone else have this problem? / know a fix? / know why the hell they decided to do it all of a sudden? Don't laugh when i say this - the 8 month old one started it at the weekend, and then i seen the year old one start it last night - as if she noticed the other one at it and decided to have a go herself!! Suckler cattle - not dairy. [/QUOTE]
