[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1788383, member: 6291"] I was just about to say some thing simular. What is funny to me is I never even considered that fact that a cow would walk off with out her calf. When I was growing a cow may be grazing 100yds from her calf and you didn't even walk between her line of sight. My dad was always hammering us to pay attention because we would be walking and you could see cows get high headed and goofy and he would be looking... saying... I bet there is a calf in here some where... lets go around. It wasn't until I went to college and worked for a guy with a reg Angus herd. When you worked cows you had to hold all the cows until the calves were done because they would walk off and not come back. The cows go out of the trap one time and we had to load the calves in a trailer, cube the cows, and take the calves to them. When they cows were calving we had to ride the pastures every day. He lost quite few calves every year to ridiculous stuff. I found a calf in a mud hole in and open field. Cows were all out grazing and didn't care. When I started trying to get it out and it was bellering, they never even looked up or came over. It blew my mind. I had never seen any thing like that. [/QUOTE]
