Yeah, I figured if it finds its way to other cows it could make it. Even if it's still nursing surely it's eating grass too (?). I remember as a kid my grandad would have yearling calves that would still be sucking on their cow way after they should. There were a lot of other elk in the area so hopefully it will join up with other cows, but it didn't have much time. Lot of snow falling there now.
I don't know how many more years I'll have to live or animals I'll kill before I stop thinking about stuff like this. Probably never.
