[QUOTE="Old Man, post: 69713, member: 894"] Check the cows morning and evening. Checked them at dark yesterday and everyone seemed ok. The earliest I should have gotten any calves is Feb. 24 based on when the bull went in last spring. This morning we had a heavy, wet snow and I had a first-calf heifer missing. Found her with a small bull calf up back of the stock pond. Got her and the calf in the barn and I guess they're none the worse for it. Used towels and wife's hair dryer to get the calf dry. At 4:30 this afternoon had another heifer calve. They are both about 8 days early--must be the weather. The calves are both 45 - 50 lbs. Sired by a son of Lucy's Boy. He is really a calving ease sire. Only got 14 more first-timers to go! Because of these early calves, I will start checking the cattle at 1 or 2 a.m. until calving is over. [/QUOTE]
