No calves
« on: June 18, 2017, 08:43:33 AM »
Went for a long drive in the Bethel area Sat.  Saw lots of healthy cows.  Saw no calves.  Shouldn't there be some on the ground by now?

For sure.  There are a ton in the colockum.  Thing is the grass and brush are crazy tall right now so it is hard to see the calves.  Give it a month and I bet you see a ton of them.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.

One large herd of at least 40 cows  must have been spooked by something were traveling in a line.   No calves   Two other herds   One which was laying down so maybe there could have been some in there    The other was. Milling on a clear cut. No calves.  Watched it for half hour.   Still a great day.  Still drifts so we couldn't drive to the top of timber wolf

I have seen that also.  Almost like they break up into groups that either have calves or not.

Some times the calves will be in a group together hiding away from the cows

I was in bethel and saw a few herds with calves spread out in them. Also driving home had a cow in middle of highway. Behind her was another cow and three very small calves. Wouldn't be surprised if the herds you saw had calves laying in the tall grass.
