[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 15463"] I completely agree with AZ’s and Gene’s advice to part with her ASAP. Regretfully, some cows (just like some humans) don’t seem to have the mothering instinct and will forget about their babies. Fortunately we can get rid of the cows. A little off subject, but it’s interesting how Herefords are good momas, but seem to be the worst about hiding their babies. It’s amazing how hard they are to find – often impossible in tall grass or weeds. I remember when I was young my dad would always tell me to go slow when driving the pastures looking for a baby because I might run over one. He hit a baby calf when he was back in the brakes one day. Didn’t kill it because it spooked right before and got up in time to deflect off the corner of the bumper. Boy, was I glad it was him and not me – ha. Y’all are correct, though. Shouldn’t be more than a day or two (three max) before you see the calf. She will continue to hide it but not all the time.
