So this morning I noticed a cow headed off by herself. I figured she was going to calf so I hopped on the quad to see which one she is. Met her coming back to the herd. Looked her over and said yep you will calf today. So a couple hours later I ran out to check. This stupid cow had crossed the river and was in the 15-20 feet between the fence and the river. I didn't want her calving there. The river is running way too swift right now and a young calf couldn't cross it. There is one foot sticking out so I know she is going to calf real soon. So I open the gate to let her on this side of the river. I figured she could calf over here and I will get her back where she belongs later. She walks to the open gate. Takes two bites of green grass, turns and wades belly deep across the river. Fifteen minutes later she is licking off a new calf. Cows......
