[QUOTE="supermom723, post: 841571, member: 16835"] I have a 850lb Jersey family milk cow, 4 years old, and vet preg checked her last week and said she's 4 months. I had hoped she was bred, and I called the farmer I got her from and he said 90% chance she was bred by a Jersey bull. That said, I'm new to livestock. I know Jerseys are easy calvers, and this will be her 3rd, and my neighbors on both sides run cattle, so I have help if I need it. My vet will surely he available too. But I'm wondering if anyone has any advice as far as.what to have on hand. She's extremely gentle, and her stall is about 10x12, and is 50 feet from the house. It'll be December in Missouri, so it could be 65 degrees or 25 degrees, but I just want to be prepared! I've read about pulling calves, cows going down, and I don't know how to prepare! Thanks...we are so excited, but I don't want anything to go wrong! Nikki [/QUOTE]
