[QUOTE="opensky, post: 836739, member: 16684"] We just purchased 21 Shorthorns (13 of which should be bred cows) in February and they were supposedly going to start calving before May 1. Our first calf was born May 11 and we haven't had one since. We recently had a visitor who was a Vet tech and she pointed out that one of our cows was having contractions and wouldn't be surprised if we had a calf by morning. That was the 14th (9 days ago) and still nothing. These cows have been bred for easy calving so I haven't been too concerned but now I'm starting to wonder. In regards to the cow that was having contractions. What should I look for, to see if there are problems? Once a cow starts having contractions, how long can it be before she calves? As far as the rest of the cows are concerned - what should I look for to know that things are going ok or aren't going ok? Thank You! [/QUOTE]
