Does the cow look to be drying up? Probably hard to tell after just a couple days. Shiny teats are always a giveaway.

Sam, that is a strange one. Tough on the profit margin to lose a perfectly healthy, well started calf.
A buddy had a new born angus calf disappear from the pasture. A few weeks later he found remains on an island in the river along the pasture edge. The remains were under a tree.
He surmised an eagle had carried the calf into the tree for a feast. But the Malhuer River is more of a creek at that time of year and location. I suppose it could have easily been a cat as well.
But it sure was not 120 lbs.
People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.

There are some places I haven't looked but they were quite a ways away. Crazy year for twins. This little mini is the 5th set and I think we have a sixth set still with the old cows. You watch for small calves out of mature cows when they come to the feed-line.

Angus, that's what my dad was speculating but I'd be shocked if a cat choose that big luggy calf to drag up a tree.
That and we very rarely have mountain lions in the area. Adolescent boar Grizz that woke up early and is wondering. Now that would REALLY not be good. Osky I thought I read they were coming out of the Bighorns and headed for Central Park??

That's a tiny calf there Sam. I hope it grows up to steak and burger size for you unless it's a girly calf.

That means it's sterile, and can't reproduce, so about the only thing they are good for is meat. https://animalpolis.com/how-to-tell-if-a-heifer-is-a-freemartin/

Interesting article. Do cows ever have twin female calves?
