thanks for the advice! i took her calf away and she has been back to her sweet old self! it never worked to leave the calf on full time, she would refuse to let her milk down for me. so its either part time calf sharing or none at all for her! and none at all seems to be the best! if i do...

ive had this girl since a heifer. she was always very sweet and loved her scratches. this winter before she calved i halter broke her, taught her to stand tied, and trained her to walk into the stanchion while i secured her head and brushed her, and sat beside her messing with her...

yup i watched, and a few hours later she cleaned out and ate the after birth! so all is well!

well she FINALLY just calved!! i had her in the barn this morning, happily chewing her cud... i put her in the stanchion, she ate her ration... i checked her bag, it seemed tight, but not terribly much more so than usual... NO milk in her teats... then i came home after lunch and noticed her...
