[QUOTE="lazyhill, post: 25265, member: 256"] We have a couple of pastures that we use through-out the year. Several of them are very heavily wooded and hide coyotes, bobcats, etc. Cows that are going to calve usually end up in our smallest (15 acre) pasture that has very little place for them to hide. We do this so that we can observe them. Once all seems well and we are comfortable moving the cows back, we round the cows and calves up and move them back to the main pasture. This works well for us, but our cows are used to being moved. We follow a slightly modified intensive grazing program so they are on the move to new pastures often and don't get stressed over it. It is more work but it is also more peace of mind. It is also nice having the calves in a place where you can watch them and interact with them at every chance. [/QUOTE]
