billrquimby Report post Posted June 24, 2017 The two little guys and their mother were in the meadow across the road from the Greer fire station about 7 p.m. this evening when Jean and I pulled over and joined the other gawkers in admiring them.

Alpinebullwinkle Report post Posted June 24, 2017 Guess it was about 3 weeks ago when I viewed the first calf for 2017. Seen quite a few since and some cows with twins. What is everyone else seeing? I like to count the ratio between cows and calves and always thought 50% cows with calves "surviving" is an exceptional year. This might be the first 50% year I can remember in 10 or more years. Maybe the best year since the wolf reintroduction program. Timely spring rains and acceptable winter might be having an abnormally positive impact on this years offspring. I realize the cows hide their calves for safety from the three predators (wolves, mountain lions, and coyotes) but looking at the herds around town it seems easier to judge this annual question. The cows sure seem smart and prefer to drop their newborns within town limits where they must think survival opportunity is greater around human population than out in the "scary forest" !! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AZ8 Report post Posted June 25, 2017 I saw 2 today on Lake Mary Rd near Morman Lake trying to figure out how to get over the fence to momma. They were nervously running pararrel, back and forth along the fence. I watched for about 10 minutes and they never figured out how to get over. I drove off wondering if they made it!
