I sometimes see reasonable sized twins running with Mom in the pasture for two to three days, and then one calf disappears. I assume the missing one was not getting enough and got weak. I had that happen today and I went back to where she had calved - - finding the other twin hiding in the fence line and looking a bit gaunt. He got up and ran after I approached so he was very able to move. But the pair was 3/8 of a mile away with the herd and I really doubt that they are coming back.
What is happening here? Dumb calf? Dumb Mother? Dumb herdsman?
