[QUOTE="Williamsv, post: 1324874, member: 22323"] I had a Beefmaster that had her first calf Saturday afternoon. She was in some tall ryegrass and I could tell that she looked alright. Did not disturb her, as she is one that I bought last June and have not succeeded at taming her as I have my others. Went back Sunday afternoon and she had moved the calf next to a fence and they both looked fine. Again, I did not disturb them. We went on to another part of the field to check the rest of the cows. I looked up and there she came without the calf. I felt uneasy about this as the field is rather large and they can go from it back into the pasture. We left and came back after church to check on the calf. It was gone from where we left it Sunday afternoon. We tried to find it Monday and Tuesday. If she saw us watching, she would try every way she could to lead us in another direction. I noticed that she kept going to a certain part of the pasture, but would leave if she glimpsed us. I had about given up and decided it was gone. This morning I saw her with the other cows. When I looked back again, there was the baby right with her. All of that worry and fretting for nothing. She was taking great care to keep it hidden. She really succeeded.I will know next time not to look for her baby till she brings it up. That sure was a pretty sight to see the calf with her this morning. [/QUOTE]
