2 other calves nursing overdue cow, A dumb question?

[oregondad]

I have a cow that is only 2 days overdue, no big deal. But other than the colostrum is there any concerns over 2 other calves nursing on her? We moved her as soon as we saw it. Could it cause hormonal changes and delay labor? I really don't think so but was just wondering.

Thanks in advance

Besides the colostrum loss, it can also cause an infection in the udder. 

We had a calf that did the same thing a few years ago.  When the cow gave birth to her own calf, her calf ended up dying, and we discovered blood in her milk.  The vet said that her udder had become infected from the other calf nursing her.
