missing calves

[odz]

Do cows leave their calves behind with other cows from the same group. i notice that sometimes when i check my cattle i notice that theres always some calves not with the main group.

Yes, not unusual for one be the nanny cow while they others go off to graze. And sometimes the bull will be the nanny

As Dun said, they will hide their calves and sometimes you won't be able to find them, as they are so good at it.

Oh and I will add as you see a little new to this. Don't go looking for the calves. Nothing worse than a mother with a newborn calf. Some people have been killed.

If that cow aint bellering the only one missing the calf is you. She knows where that calf is.

if she has it hid its best to leave it alone if you spook it . It may start to run and not stop until it hits the next county.

A friend of mine thinks he " lost" one..........I didn't bother to tell him that might not be the case.
