[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 486354, member: 968"] Heifers may start bagging a month or more prior to calving - OR - while calving. No set rule - they don't read the book. Tight bag & teats, loose vulva, high tailhead, lots of clear mucous discharge from vulva. Things to watch for indicating something is wrong - bloody discharge & no immediate calving - kicking bellie and/or tail held out like she is pushing and no progress for 1 hour - see TAIL (breech) - feet turned UP (the first thing you will see is a water bag, then hopefully two feet, which will be the front feet and they "should" be facing DOWN) If feet are turned up, either the calf is backwards or upsidedown. Observe from a distance so that she isn't constantly jumping up to see what you are doing. Contact a vet & let him know you are calving heifers & ask if he is available if they need assistance.
