[QUOTE="dun, post: 983857, member: 34"] You would be surprised how far an escapee calf can travel. Last year the neighbor on the otherside of the woods called and said one of my weaned heifers was over there. I went over and it wasn;t one of ours. I left and figured he had acquired himself a decent heifer. The next morning it was in with our cows. Went through several barbwire fences and 2 hotwire fences to get there. I checked with the neighbors for a mile or so around and nobody was missing one. I just left her with our cows and figured one of the neighbors would realize they were missing one and come and get it. The next morning she was in a different pasture and had torn up a barbwire fence and a hot wire. That evening she was out by herself, sort of. The cows that had been with her in the morning had gone through the barbed wire fince she had torn down. We put her in the bull pen and a couple of days later hauled her to the sale barn. A week later a guy from 8 miles away stopped by. He had talked to one of the neighbors and mentioned he was missing a heifer and the guy directed him here. I handed him the check and away he went.
