[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1400324, member: 24816"] Last year about this time maybe a week or two earlier, we had some synchronized AI calves coming. Had several come over a couple of days, and while checking them before heading out to church in the mountains that afternoon noticed a cow looking as though she was right ready to calve. Debated whether or not to leave, but figured she would probably be ok, and if not we would be back in a few hours. Sure enough when we got home, she looked like she had calved, but no sign of a calf anywhere. Never did find hide or hair of it. I figured coyotes, or buzzards were the culprits. Couple years ago had some fall calving heifers, and I suspected one of slipping a calf about mid summer, never did see evidence of a fetus. A bit later a bear was seen in one of our back fields, and a neighbor's trail camera got a picture of a mother and cub. The neighbor also found a calf fetus with a white face, and figured it was from my cows, since I had some white face cattle. We wondered if a bear would have carried the calf over there. [/QUOTE]
