    Hi,

    Has anybody out there observed milk theft behaviour by an adult Bactrian camel cow? This adult cow subsequently rejected her second calf. She successfully raised her first calf which was before the milk theft behaviour began. Her second calf, born after she started stealing milk, was rejected.

    Thanks
