[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 464428, member: 3162"] Heifer is to Cow as Filly is to Mare. You didn't buy heifers. You got some very young cows, which is usually good. The second birth is much easier for the most part. Foaling and calving is not all that much different, as far as the birthing goes. Cows need to be left alone most of the time. When the cow's tail starts rising the the birth canal starts swelling, she is "springing." Some start a month in advance. When the udder starts swelling and the teats extend a little, you are close. Some will have a discharge for a day or so. I've got one that wiill have a discharge for up to ten days. They are all a bit different at times. When its time, cows usually head for brush and isolate themselves from the others. [/QUOTE]
