One of the heifers has separated herself from the herd over the last few weeks. This goes against natural instinct. I did see our bull following her around a couple of weeks back, but did not witness anything happening. Could this have triggered her to "hide" ? Have any of you experienced this ? Did they grow out of it? I know it's a pain when moving the cows to different fields for grazing. thanks Cursing Cow Farmer Last edited by GUT_SHOT; 04/09/20 12:10 AM.

On the other hand, I had a cow that had her 4th calf earlier this week and she just went batmess crazy. She was always social and let me walk right up to her and her calves once they were born but now runs to the other end of the pasture and stays away from the herd. I don't understand it.
