[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 464348, member: 4362"] Kerley, I'm going to assume the best out of the fella that sold them to you and say what the fella might have meant by "any day" is they should be calving anytime within the next 90 days. What I look for are the tail heads, sponginess of their vulva and their bags filling. I can normally tell when one is going to calve if the teat begins to pull off to the side a little. A lot of these things aren't going to be real evident to you until you have seen it a time or two but you will see for yourself soon enough. Since these cows have already had one calf, leave them alone and let them have their calves in peace. If you see them riding one another you might need to think about getting a bull. Good luck and keep us informed. [/QUOTE]
