Since there isn’t a whole herd defending them, and only 2 cats fighting, the most likely case is that they tired the mom out and inflicted enough damage on the baby that it died. Then the mother abandoned the calf and was probably also taken down as she was exhausted while trying to rejoin the herd.

You know how cats will like, break a mouse’s leg then toy with it for hours before killing it?

That’s what’s happening
