[QUOTE="East Caney, post: 372031, member: 2960"] Well, from everyone else's replies, I feel better. I'm going through my second calf crop (personally). I happened to arrive a short time after one of my cows had calved (probably as close to calving as I've ever been). Initially, the cow wouldn't come up to the fence (which I experienced last year). When she did, her calf came up stumbling and walking sideways....nevertheless, a joy to see. Anyway, I go back the next day to show my wife the new calves, and I can't find hers (two born within the week). I walked the place back and forth but couldn't find the calf...the only reason I got nervous is because there's always buzzards hangin' around. Two were up in a tree, and there were several squawkin' away on property to the west of ours. I started getting concerned thinking maybe they got to the calf (read something like that on here once). Anyway, I hope it's just hiding or bedded down somewhere. That cow almost got in my back pocket the day I bought her...and she seemed like a heck of a momma cow last year...can't see her letting anything get to her calf. And I don't know the deal, but her calf had the best disposition last year. He wouldn't eat from your hand, but you could stand right next to him, and he'd never even get up. [/QUOTE]
