[QUOTE="CattleAnnie, post: 140511, member: 220"] Numbers of cattle can also compound the necessity for night checks, as well as those animals that don't give much physical notice of calving - ie. cows delivering twins are notorious for calving up to two weeks early. In our case, sometimes we have thirty plus cows that look ready to calve within 24 hours, and there simply isn't enough room for them all to be in the barn. We also like to keep the amount of manure in the barn to a minimum, and I personally am not keen to be shovelling up after a bunch of cows every morning that didn't even produce a calf in return for their mess. :shock: I'm quite envious of your program though, as it must be wonderful to never have to assist with a leg back, breech birth, etc in the middle of the night. Our cattle seem to follow no set time schedule when it comes to delivery problems. Take care. [/QUOTE]
