[QUOTE="wacocowboy, post: 1103227, member: 21602"] they do bed them down and go off and graze. but what bothers me is she didn't come running when you picked that calf up. I don't know how close your pasture is to your barn but she should be raising hell looking for that calf. was the calf strong when you picked it up or was it kinda weak and limp it may need bottle. they can go a little while with out eating but not too long. I would see if it would take a bottle then put it somewhere warm and safe for the night. then catch her in the morning and pen them up kinda watch from a distance see if she lets it nurse. if she is not letting it nurse it may have stolen enough milk from another cow to survive and you may have to put her in the chute and force the calf on her until she takes it or you can take them to the sale. some heifer are goofy and wont take a calf I've had a few like that [/QUOTE]
