Do your cows actually behave the same each year when calving?TCRanch":1oggvv5p said:Tail to the side, definitely swollen, discharge generally equals darn close. Are her teats full? More to the point: if this is her 4th calf since you've had her I'm assuming you already know the signs. If she's taking longer than normal, get her in & make sure the calf is in the correct position. Trust your gut.
