[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 375901, member: 6198"] Stepper, dont harbour ill feelings. You did well and that is what counts. Someday the neighbor will repay inkind but this time might have been a bad day fo him. We have no idea what goes on the other side of the fence so to speak. He could have bee having bad troubles you never know. Life is too short for that. Don't forget these neighbors gave you the advice you needed when the time came. As for the vet he has to service how many in your area...could have gotten an emergency. We aren't always as lucly as you were this year. Jon, yeah keep us posted and write if you've got an issue we all an help on...good luck with your calving season. Remember heifers are full of surprises :o We've had our share this year and we've been doing this for over a decade. One tip, if you can scratch your heifer around the tail bone on either side is a mucscle. If she is ready it will be loose and sunken and if not tight as a fiddle string almost feels like a hard rock. but she can loosen up pretty quickly. So watch out. Also we've noticed the vulva will swell and kinda take on the appearance of a "pouch"...again not 100% fool proof. 'Luck Tammy [/QUOTE]
