Mama is holstein, and daddy is holstein/jersey cross. I got them both as day old calves from the dairy I was working at. Snickers my bull is such a hambone. Every time I bring the camera down he needs to come over and get a taste.

usually with calves (my experience is with english beef breeds (angus/shorthorn/chi's) once you take the calf away from the mother for a period of time, you run the risk of the mother never accepting the calf to nurse. WIth a decent amount of straw and a windbreak there is no reason to bring a young calf indoors. I have had many calves in sub-zero temps and never lost one yet (one had its ears a bit frost bitten though).

With dairy breeds, I have noticed a very strong bond between cow and calf. After a cow would calf, we put them in the hospital pen to milk out the colostrum.
This hospital pen surrounded the hospital where we kept the babies in little pens. These cows would keep trying to get to their calves for days, and it was tough to watch sometimes. Other cows would have the calf and just walk off. These were first calf heifers like my cow. It took me snubbing her off to a post on both ends and putting the calf up to nurse. Baby figured out what was going on and mama decided it was OK. Baby had tried repeatedly, but momma kicked her away. Sometimes a person has to step in once in a while. I'm sure she will have no problem with her next calf.
