[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 25405"] Its always nice, but not always possible to have them where you can see check them at calving. We try to move our cows and calves as soon AFTER calving and shedding as possible so that predators attracted to afterbirth aren't tempted by a fresh, wet calf. This seems to help especially with the buzzard problems. They seem to be getting worse every year about killing new calves, or else the cow will sometimes step on her baby and kill it while trying to fight them off. Maybe the Democrats and R-Calf can come up with a solution for this? [/QUOTE]
