[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1813764, member: 24027"] Just why? Condensed version: heifer bred late. My fault because when I pulled the bulls from the main herd, I moved them to the east 80 with Tallywacker & "his" heifers. Never been a problem before because they've always already been bred, and I like to keep the heifers there because the grass is so much better. It is what it is. Anyway, she had her calf a week ago. Great little first-time mama and it was a big calf (definitely a Woody baby). Zero attitude while I tagged/worked her calf. Calf is doing fine but she will not join the herd. And it's not like she doesn't know where they are because they've passed through the pasture she's in a number of times, heading towards different pastures (plus, she's not deaf & can hear them). The first few days it was heartwarming because she's so attentive. Now it's just weird and a little annoying because I have better things to do than search for where she's hidden her calf - in 100-degree temps. Anyone else ever have a cow or heifer stay away this long? And BTW I'm selling them as a pair when we wean in Oct. Odds are slim she'll breed back by the time I pull the bulls.
