[QUOTE="Irishred, post: 548080, member: 1368"] Neighbors opened the smaller pasture up (where my little calf is) for the herd to allow them to munch on the getting overgrown grass. The last 3 days I have noticed a calf that is about a week old alone out in the pasture in the heat of the afternoon. Yesterday, the rest of the herd came in for its 'rounds' and she went off with them. Today, she was out there and the herd came in she going back and forth a lot amongst the cows and looked lost. During that time and as the herd was going back to the shade by the river she tried to nurse off of at least 3 different cows. I told my neighbor about it and he went and looked at her and the cow. I need to ask what her momma's number is as it is one of about 6 that look extremely similar - dark brownish black. The ear tags can be hard to see but the herd at least walks past me now so I might catch it. Anyway, for the calf, is there anything I should watch for that would show there being more of a problem like the start of dehydration? She has been a springy little thing and is very cute, always playing with the other calves. Just want to prevent another loss if possible. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
