[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1700992, member: 25884"] If she comes up to a pen to get some feed, then keep her in for several hours and then when she goes out, follow/watch her until she goes to where she has hidden the calf. Don't let her have the "abandoned calf" until she has revealed the place she has hidden her other calf. First time heifers are trying to figure things out just being a new mother... having 2 just does not "compute" in their brain right off the bat. I would pen the 2 calves together when you get her to reveal the other calf's hiding place, and bring her in to the calves a couple times a day.... she might just take them both once she gets the hang of having 2.
