Seems like a cow just loves to lay down were a round bale was and push the calf right out in the mud. I remember saving a calf from a cow that did that one cold March night. When I found the calf it was mired in the mud half-way. It was below freezing and the mud was so cold it was almost froze in place. I took it to the barn(w/cow) and got some colosturum down it and it was fine. I remember it was a White(charolais) calf and it carried that dark color on one side for almost a month were it had been buried in the mud! I raise cattle and farm full-time, so I spend a lot of time with the old gals in Feb-April. I have 28 bred heifers due yesterday and had the first one deliver today. Getting ready to go and check them now before bedtime. Raising cattle is a lot of work, but a lot of satisfaction goes along with it too.
