Why do cows leave their calves in a field by themselves?

It's just like asking why do deer leave their fawns in an open field all by themselves? Cattle are prey animals, and when they are looking after their young plus have to feed themselves, it is better for a young calf to hunker down in some tall grass or bushes, hidden away from the eyes of predators, while the mother grazes not far off. When it's time to feed the calf, the cow goes up to the calf and allows it to come out of its hiding spot to nurse.
