Not the news we were hoping.... but noticed the newest bull calf hadn't been coming up with momma last night or today. So this afternoon I went to do a check.... found him down by the creek, not much left. He was healthy, active, and doing good. We think coyotes got him. Momma would tuck him down in the trees and leave him. I guess she thought she had him hid good. 🥺
It's been a rough year with cattle. We nearly lost 3 calves with the heat, a cow with summer pneumonia we've been battling, and now officially lost the first calf after many many years of never having issues. I hope 2027 calving treats us better. We still have 3 more mommas to go this fall/winter... so send prayers!
