[QUOTE="Workinonit Farm, post: 624189, member: 839"] They can go 2 weeks or so prior to 2 weeks past their due-date. I had one calve a few years ago just about 4 wks early. Very tiny bull-calf, he lived. I had to 'help' him out for a few days, but he was fine. Many of the heifers and a fair amount of the cows, up where I work, have been calving just about 3 weeks early this year (all AI'd ones)....who knows why. So....she could just be having it a bit early and it may be okay, or, she's having a problem. My main concern is that you state that she has been showing signs of calving for 6 hours with no progress. That for me is a red flag. Do whatever it takes to get her up into a facility where someone can sleeve up and check her out. Its possible that there is a mal-presentation going on here. Let us know. Katherine [/QUOTE]
