[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 898975, member: 97"] Do they have to be in the barn? I have ran into more calving problems with heifers because of lack of exercise than about anything else...I hate calving heifers that have been lotted or in a corral standing with their head in a hay feeder.. If possible let them have as much room as possible to move around...I feed my cows and heifers a half mile from the corrals so they have to walk at least that far to get water... Won't corral them or put them in the barn until I see the calf coming- or if the weather is really bad or they look like they are having problems..... They often do best with the least amount of attention or pampering... [/QUOTE]
