[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 519591, member: 2308"] We calve in about a 2 acre pen, we don't have to, and we wouldn't run into problems with finding pairs if we didn't. But, we like the control, and the much easier ability to get them into the corral and barn if there IS a problem, or if it is cold out. With 140 cows, we sort every week or so, and as long as the cows are in it long enough to get used to it most won't have a problem calving there. The other 0.1% crawl the fence and go calve out in the big pasture (80 acres). At any given moment, we will have up to 80 cows in the calving area. As they calve we move them out to a different pasture, and then again once the calves are about a week to 10 days old. [/QUOTE]
