  • I'm afraid the worst has happened...who's to blame? Come along with me on the farm today as we frantically search for a missing calf...she's been gone for days now and I can't find any signs of her....and then...to my surprise! You won't believe how this turns out!

    I'm glad you got your calf back. We recently moved our cattle across the canal. A calf stayed behind that we didn't know about. We actually went back the next day only to find an upset momma and buzzards eating what the coyotes left. Which wasn't much. When I was growing up, we had a calf get spooked by a crop duster spraying the field that surrounded the corral. Calf was gone for 2 or 3 days. Luckily it found its way back. It's always something.

    Mommas don’t lose or neglect their babies, unless the calf is sick or it’s a bad momma. Mommas don’t call for sick calves or if they are a bad momma.
    When moving cows, if a calf is not with its mom, leave mom behind so she can nurse and protect her baby.

This is what happens when you keep a herd, whether it's cows, goats, or other livestock, sometimes you lose one or more and for anyone whose never lost one yet congrats but dont get to thinking it can never happen to you. I'm glad yall found the calf in the end!

    Calving is when chunks of ice break off at the terminus, or end, of a glacier. Ice breaks because the forward motion of a glacier makes the terminus unstable. We call these resulting chunks of ice “icebergs.” Icebergs can be BIG.
    If a calf falls from a glacier when it breaks how does one say that?

    This is part and parcel of animal husbandry. If raising cattle from cows to calves you will experience joy to grief.
    You will also see monstrosities. Like calves with two and half back legs. It is very sad. I experienced this before I was 14 years old.
    40 years later I’m tree farming. Farming for nuts. An acre of macadamia nuts yields the same income of ten acres of grass and cattle. Trees don’t cause trouble and provide shade on a summer day.

    I have a feral cat that lives in my house with me, Miss Midnight. When her kittens were two days old, they needed my help and mum knew it. She LET me take them! She had been very protective of them, getting mad at me when I got to close before, but, this morning it was just different. She actually stood back and watched as I took them. She knew. Mum didn't want to be inside, however. Later that day, I heard Miss Midnight outside looking for her kittens. I still had them and I didn't want to bring them back out, so I lured mum in with food. She got the pleasure of having the door slammed shut in her face after she came in. But, once I showed her that 'I still got your kittens here' she quieted down and was like 'bring them to me!' As soon as I put one down next to her, Miss Midnight rolled over so the kitten could nurse while I brought the rest of them to her. I promised Miss Midnight that once she was fixed, she could leave if she still wanted to. Miss Midnight knows where she is safe. She never even asked to go outside. But, yes, mum will get upset if she loses her kids, just like we would. I'm so glad that your story also ended well. It was a good thing I went out when I did...if I had gone out maybe five minutes earlier, I might not have been aware of what was going on. She had moved three of her kittens onto the patio. I went inside to grab a container (I used a 7-11 polystyrene cooler). I held them against me to warm them up (they were soaked and COLD) and put them in the cooler to help them keep warm while I figured out what to do next (I never had to do a kitten rescue before). I was so glad when I caught mum and had her taking care of them (who is better than their actual mum). It's been almost 4 years now since that day...Miss Midnight still lives here and is loving it more than she loved her outdoor life. But, I've noticed that with the ferals...all of a sudden, one day they didn't show up. Then show up the day after like nothing happened.
