I have one old cow that's an excellent mother. Without the calf catcher she likely would have killed me tagging her calf this year. The little bugger was a month old and came up missing yesterday. I could tell that it walked about 20 foot onto the pond ice before falling through. Poor little guy. I feel awful bad for mama. She's spend two days at the edge of that pond bellering for her baby to come home. If the pond had enough drop I'd put in a waterer and fence it off, but I haven't had a causality in this pond in many years so I guess it was nature's turn. She came up for corn tonight with all of the other pairs. She must have realized little 44 is in a better place.
