in the hay meadow this morning . I don't have any idea how she died and there's not way to tell at this point with the 105+ heat we've had for the last week. I saw her along with her calf with the other cows/calves on Wednesday. what bothers me is the gate to the hay meadow was open. We never use that gate plus we haven't been in the hay meadow for a couple of weeks. No real reason for the cows to push through the gate ( which was chained) because they've just been turned into a pasture with little blue stem up to their bellies; hay meadow has little regrowth after cutting a month ago. I always hate to lose one; she was a nice 7 year who always raised a good calf( of course, it's never the ones you dislike ;-) ) On the bright side, her calf is 6 months old so he can take care of himself til I gather them for weaning.
