[QUOTE="cowgirl8, post: 1227453, member: 22072"] I check once or twice a day while the calves are on the cows, once a day when the cows are dry....3 times a day when they are calving, more if i see someone in labor. We moved our first time heifers to the house where i can look out at them many times a day. I can watch them when i'm cooking, i can watch them while in the yard mowing, i can watch them while in my garden. This is going to save me so much time now that i'm not having to check them many times on a 4wheeler like i had to do when they were in a pasture away from the house. I could still see them, but if someone was having trouble or just calving, i'd be alerted by seeing buzzards flying around. The older cow herds i still check 3 times a day during calving season, but i zip through the herd usually just to write down new calves. Occasionally, i'll wait till one calves if i see one in labor and if i see buzzards i wait till she drops her afterbirth so i can cart it away. [/QUOTE]
