[QUOTE="Farmhand, post: 73521, member: 1292"] There is not any breed who will always calve exactly on their due date. They will come when they come and yes - are probably waiting on bad weather. Weather certainly seems to bring the girls in. Have never personally had problems with one not taking their calf. Most of mine have been very protective of all calves in the pasture - not just their own. As far as pulling goes - you can have that with any breed. Lots of factors in that - what they were bred to, how big the heifer is, etc,etc,etc. I would try to get them in a barn BEFORE they calve. I'm a neighbor to you and we still have some winter left. You will probably have some calve during harsh weather. Momma, baby, and you will do much better with some shelter. No need to isolate any unless there is a problem. [/QUOTE]
