Urge Separate
Calf Pens

An in st n c lively acquired
sucking habit of young calves,
result ing from their being
penned together, must be pre-
vented to avoid lessening the
value Of the heifer and later the
cow which usually develops un-
balanced udders from the habit.
The logical way to prevent the
habit Is to keep calves In indivi-
dual pens, or kept tied away
from other calves. until six or
eight weeks old. II five or six
calves are kept In one pen after
this age, they should al be fast
ened In stantions and fed their
grain Immediately after the milk
feed, thus allowing the m ilk
taste to leave the mouth. After
about thirty minutes in the STAN
tons they may again be re-
leased.
Prevention, as pre- scribed
above, is the greatest cure for
the habit, for once started the
habit Is a viscious one and one
that generally persists. %
II the habit Is practiced among
yearling and two-year-old heif-
ers, many times the animals
sucked are brought to virgin
milk Probably no great damage
to the udders would result as

gether, but as soon as separated,

ing sucked would have . hard.

Another disadvantage develops
