description: Each nursing cow can have 2-4 calves, and they suckle until they are 3-4 months of age. Some farmers allow suckling up to 6 months. The nursing cows are selected for caring ability and are often cows with udders not fit for the AMS.   It is important that the calves get enough colostrum during the first few hours. If necessarily give them at least 4 litres x 2 within the first 12 hours by a stomach tube.
