[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 562883, member: 9"] Don't know anything about Holsteins except that one day's milk would last us a year! After it was pasteurized, of course. Longhorns: Usually when their bag fills up and teats point slightly in 4 directions and their vulva is puffy & floppy they tend to calve within 72 hours or so. Some will not bag up until a day before. Some will bag up 1 to 2 weeks before. Each LH cow is different. If you see her frequently lay down and get back up, touching her sides with head or horns frequently, calving will probably happen within a few hours or less. Given the 9 month gestation, they will usually calve + or - 2 weeks from date of conception. When tail stays up for a while calving is also pretty close. Watch, observe, take notes for the next calving. [/QUOTE]
