That's kind of my thought too, the one who beat down the ant mound kind of "growled" a real low bellow to the rest. Although the rest never really took her seriously and didn't pay her any mind.

It was a thick layer completely covering her face and both sides of her head even her ears. Today I noticed mud on her face again not as much as Sunday but It was there. We have probably had 4 inches of rain since Sunday so I'm sure it would have washed off and I didn't notice any on her yesterday. This is a first calf heifer that had her calf the day after Christmas. I have not looked for where she is getting the mud from. I have minerals out and have not noticed mud on any of the other cows that are with which are all also first calf heifers. I didn't pay much attention to it but thought it was strange. I'll pay more action to see if she keeps getting it on her.

I previously said she calved 2 weeks ago. I just looked at my records and it was also day after Christmas. My how time flys. If she's still doing it this weekend, I'll get a picture. It is comical. She's a gray white face, so she might be trying to camoflauge herself. She may know something we don't

you said it was red clay. so maybe she thinks reds will bring a higher price at the sale barn.
