[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 15461"] i dont guess i have ever had a cow keep a calf hid over about 3 days... after that the calf is strong enough to run any where the momma cow goes. your calf should be close to a month old now and be running all over the pasture... it would seem to me that your fears of another lost calf are correct... unless there is some unusual circumstance... calf is lame or blind.. just guesses.. but even then the momma cow would come up missing from time to time because she has gone to the calf.... if you lock her up she should tell you pretty quickly by hollaring for her calf... good luck, gene > I have a cow who had her 2nd calf > just before Thanksgiving. To date > I have not seen the calf. She lost > her first calf I think to coyotes. > This yr we haven't had as many > coyote problems. Shouldn't she > have brought the 2nd calf up by > now?
