[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1332153, member: 24027"] First calf heifers are essentially teenage girls and yet I retain/calve 'em out every year. As long as she continues to go back to her calf both should be fine. Calves are like fawns, they don't have a lot a scent the first few days and I'm guessing she has her calf hidden in an area not frequented by the coyotes. Not sure what part of OZ you're located but (enormous knock-wood!) we've never lost a calf to 'yotes. I would just keep an eye on the calf - and the mama - to make sure it's nursing, all is okay. Mama will most likely bring the calf into the herd within a couple days. [/QUOTE]
