[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 364620, member: 6198"] Get a maternity pen. best investment for calving. Makes life simpler in times of stress, safer for everyone and the best thing with four posts going. There is a head gate On two sides the bottom half of the pannels can be openned so it's slick like butter to get a calf to suck on one side of the split pannel the top can be openned for a vet exam of the rummen, for an on farm c section if your vet does that if the cow goes down while pulling a calf the head gate is straight to prevent strangleation(?). Makes checking on a problem calvers less like a chore and more like...well...oh so easy!!! Sweetest investment we made on the farm. Once you have it you wonder what you did without it. We anchored our materinty pen with gravel, railway ties and lag bolts. We laid the ties on the ground after we dug out the dirt so the ties would be ground level. the pen came with welded tabs with holes to lag bolt it to the tie. cow can not push it around. [/QUOTE]
