[QUOTE="LauraleesFarm, post: 1247063, member: 14261"] For heifers I like to have them in the calving pen at least 2 to 4 weeks prior to calving if at all possible. With heifers, anything can go wrong. And it will. That being said, this heifer of yours has already done the deed and she is mothering quite well. I would let her be. As long as she appears to have been nursed (bag looks nursed at times) then you know the calf is getting his dinner. For the other heifers, though, I would get them into a calving pen when they are looking close. That way, if one needs help, you are able to jump in. [/QUOTE]
