[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 2223"] Don't know if this helps any. We raise Texas Longhorns (am sure most of their stuff is similar to other breeds??). Anyway, when one of our cows is close to calving, she will begin to bag up anywhere between one and seven days before. About the same time period, her vulva will begin to protrude slightly and be "jelly-like". She'll begin to keep her tail head elevated some, may look back at her stomach area more frequently, etc. When she does into labor, the bag is pretty full, and labor to delivery is usually over with in less than an hour. From the time she lies down until the calf is out and breathing, it is usually only about 15-20 minutes or so. Calf usually begins to nurse within 45 to 60 minutes. [/QUOTE]
