[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 12087"] Labor is much more under the control of the calf than it is the cow herself. Normal labor starts in response to the CALF'S release of particular hormones. But there are things that will throw a cow into labor, such as extreme excitement or injury. On the other hand, a cow IS capable of putting off or stalling the delivery for a day or two. This is supposed to a survival adaptation to prevent calves from being born into extreme bad weather -- but a lot of cattlemen will tell you that if cows do put it off, it will be so that they CAN deliver in that extreme bad weather! Ann B > Someone told me that cows can > throw themselves in labor . or > make them selves start labor. has > anyone heard of this? thanks Bill [email=Bledsoes_Bunnies@msn.com]Bledsoes_Bunnies@msn.com[/email] [/QUOTE]
