[QUOTE="Sid, post: 8274269, member: 574"] I refuse to be outdone by [USER=81760]@Jdunn55[/USER] with his altercations. Had 2 heifers calf on Wednesday night in a piece of rough grazing, bracken, stream,wooded parts. All fine Thursday morning both heifers and their heifer calves there, both drunk all good. Plan to run them in Friday morning, yep all heifers present and correct, only one calf. We spent 2 hours walking round but can't find 2nd calf, speak to neighbour in case gone up the stream under the wire , nope nothing. Mother very blasé about no calf. So we run them all in, split off 2 heifers and one calf. Heifers milked last night, turned out with cows calf tucked into calf shed. This morning mother of calf we put in shed up by gate calling. No sign of other heifer but given yesterday she didn't give a feck didn't think anything of it. Popped down shifted fence for cows this morning and drove over to see if any sign of calf. Just in around the corner was said calf, with mother happily having a drink. She was supposed to be 3 fields and across a road away, but she obviously knew where she had left it. Few electric fences to mend but hey ho, as the book says " any fool can be a dairy farmer" [USER=81760]@Jdunn55[/USER] you should read it! [/QUOTE]
