[QUOTE="skip, post: 25249, member: 82"] We are having a lively debate around our place. Until this coming summer, we are still absentee owners and we have limited time on weekends. We have 135 acres with a lot of it in pretty heavy brush. As we all know, cows move off to an isolated place to have calves and at times we can't find them until they come out with a calf. I think we lost one of a set of twins last month because when the cow finally reappeared she had a healthy heifer with her. We never could find her when she was birthing. I think she just walked off and left the other one. We found the calf near the road the next weekend. No signs of problems. The big question is " It is better to move a cow or heifer that is about to calve into a small 8 acres pasture next to the house so we can keep an eye on her or will this cause the cow / heifer more stress for moving her away from the herd? I would really appreciate everyone's ideas. Thanks [/QUOTE]
