[QUOTE="Cattle Rack Rancher, post: 36815, member: 245"] Two winters ago, I bought a bred angus cow off a guy that lives about twenty miles away. She had a calf that had just been weaned. It was late November. Put her in the fence with the rest of the cows. The next morning she was gone. Tracked her for the first mile on a snowmobile. Then she got into bush country and I had to track her on foot. Followed her for over six miles on foot through about a foot of snow and finally walked to a neighbors place another couple miles down the road. The first thing he asked me was if I was missing a cow. She was another three miles south. She was just a little cow and yet she cleared several 4 strand barbed wire fences on her quest to get back to her calf. Another seven miles, she would have been home. She was exhausted and aborted shortly after that. Just a bad deal all the way around. [/QUOTE]
