Actually, it turned out I was right. The heiffer is now a cow :) she came into milk and the little bull calf is doing quite well, the men came to their senses in time and turned the cattle all out together.

Awesome! I figured the same as you, from the way you were describing it all, and glad to hear she finally got back with her young'un! :D

I am glad too! I know the boys would have said I'm crazy but I think they look alike in the face. She is a really good mother. :)

Great news!!! And I concur with the others that confirmed that heifers can and should be calving out around the age of 2. My 2 yr old heifer just had her first bull calf last week and while I did think she looked pregnant, she didn't look nearly as pregnant as the older cow and she even now doesn't have a huge bag, but definitely enough to feed her little calf.
