[QUOTE="fnfarms1, post: 1292207, member: 24416"] When calving 2-3times a day and couple through the night if I know ones close. I check everyday until calves are 90+days old. Then every other day. During summer with work and baling hay, often I miss a few here and there, but typically calves are old enough to not get sick and die in a day like when their younger. Nov-Jan I'm feeding hay every other day anyway, cows are dry and no calves. Keep in mind, my cows I feel are a month or less from calving get put in the lot by the house with hay and an auto water tank. So I can step out on check them with spotlight from porch. And their easy to catch is having trouble and tag/band the calf. Cows and calves go to the pasture after a few days to make sure all is good, first calves may stay a week or 10days. [/QUOTE]
