[QUOTE="novatech, post: 489013, member: 5494"] After yesterday I believe I'm going to put in one of those 15 acre calving pastures. I new a cow was fixing to calve so I went and checked on her. Well it took me at least an hour to find her. She was in thick brush next to a gully and the calf was on the way. I left and came back an hour later. The delivery went well but there was a problem. The calf at some point slid down the side of the gully and got trapped under a log. The cow must have realized I was there to help and left me alone. (Brahman cow) I could not move the log by hand so I ended up using a skid steer and grapples. After removing the log I got off the loader and got the calf standing. Mom informed me that I had done my job and it was time for me to go. I spent the next 2 hrs. clearing a path for the calf to be able to get out. Yep a nice clean 15 acre pasture sure would had made things a lot safer. That is just large enough to not have to destrub them when calving, and still get to them if there is a problem. [/QUOTE]
