[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 9423"] In forty plus years I've never seen a cow "wax", horses "wax". A cow will frequently keep eating right up till shortly before she calves. If she is very restless, trying to find a little privacy, lays down and stands up a lot, she is getting very close. But, (there is always a but when it comes to cows) she could calve in the next couple of hours or wait a day or two. Keep an eye on her, if she really starts to strain a lot and nothing happens within an hour or so, it's best to check and find out why. Ones the sack appears the feet should appear within a half hour or so, once the feet appear, if she hasn't had the calf within an hour or so, find out why dunmovin farms > Starting at about 5 am this > morning, my Jersey cow was > "waxing".
