Guest guest Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 I've found that when my calf is 2 months old it is able to drink all the milk my Dexter/Jersey cow makes overnight, if I leave them together. If I separate them overnight, I make sure to only milk out 3 quarters of my cow's udder. My cow knows that the calf will at least get one quarter after being hungry all night, so she's more willing to let down for me. You might try that - perhaps not even touching a certain one of her teats. I don't worry about mastitis because I know the calf will milk all her quarters thoroughly after I'm done!
