[QUOTE="Cross-7, post: 1426785, member: 24538"] I have several that are taking a ride to town for that very reason. I saw one baby when I left for work one morning. I came back that evening and it was not to be found, but figured it was laid down somewhere close. Next morning the cow had a full bag and grazing with other cows and no calf in sight. I found it on the other side of the pasture from momma bawling at the cows across the fence. I have others that hang close. if I get close to the calf they come running and ready to fight. They will get to stay. I started calving in a small trap so I can keep an eye on them. Several are just poor mothers and will be leaving this fall. I don't have the time to babysit or the budget to lose calves. [/QUOTE]
