[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1848242, member: 968"] In this day and age, it amazes me how people worry about calving HEIFERS. If the heifer is grown out properly (not starved), and bred to a decent (not cow killer bull), she should be able to lay down and spit out a good size calf unassisted. People should be more concerned about abnormal presentations - which none of us can predict or avoid. It happens. So, I watch all my calving cows/heifers. I don't watch heifers "more" than a mature cow. Cameras are super cheap - go right to you phone. Edit - on the dead calf. "IF" another calf depleted the dam's colostrum before or shortly after calving, your newborn was potentially doomed. [/QUOTE]
