[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1741706, member: 42463"] An overfat cow with a late calf, probably a big calf, would give me concern too. I never feed my cows to get them fat, especially before they deliver. That's asking for trouble. I'd say induce her if you can handle pulling a big calf without assistance since your vets are hard to get, or take her in to the vet for a possible cesarean. I say this with some reservations. I normally advocate letting nature take its course, but can't see a downside to helping this one along as long as it really is full term. [/QUOTE]
