[QUOTE="Susie David, post: 494170, member: 1744"] Once the calf has nursed mom will park it and go have her groceries. Not sure about mothering instincts...twist the calf's ear and make it holler, you'll have the whole herd on the offencive with mom in the lead. When we have a group of young calves the moms will leave them together with one cow or yearling heifer hanging close by babysitting. Always amazies me the instinct that they have to protect the young. Last year one heifer was down calving and I went to check her and all was well but when Susie came over the gals circled the heifer and one of the yearlings actually pushed her away, not agressively but just enough to let her know that she wasn't welcome.
