[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 9625"] I purchased a bred Holstein/Jersey heifer yesterday, she's to be delivered tomorrow or the next day (dependant on weather). She's not a real big heifer, she's shorter than my 830 lb Jersey cow, she's supposed to be just under 2 years and she's bred to a Jersey bull. Seller didn't give a "due date" but she is starting to "spring" and he thought she'd calve within 8 weeks. What is the likelihood that a first-calf heifer will have problems calving? Would it be best as she gets close to have her out in a lot with a shed, or should she come into a stall in the barn? We're in SE Nebraska, where it's normally bitterly cold right now, but this year is weird -- it was 66' day before yesterday!
