[QUOTE="GoWyo, post: 1798001, member: 38220"] I have a creek through our meadow. In 2016 I didn't have the meadow fenced off yet. Lost a day old calf in the creek - I suspect the cow crossed the bridge and the calf didn't so she bellered at it and it walked into the creek. The bank top is 4' from the bottom of the creek and water about 2-3' deep. It is a death trap for calves. That same year the creek was flooding about a month later and that same cow's yearling bull drowned in the creek. I think he was scared to cross the bridge, tried to cross above the bridge and got washed under the bridge and drowned. We got the meadow fenced that year and calve up on the slope. Then this last December one of my replacement heifers broke through the ice on the creek during the cold snap and she didn't make it out before I found her dead in it. Always something. [/QUOTE]
