[QUOTE="Northern Rancher, post: 366470, member: 5898"] Here's my scenario-she starts calving an hour after dark-I have no idea what's going on because I won't see her for eight hours or so-but I know this we haven't pulled one calf in the 14 years from a mature cow-probably 2500 births at least.We do calve out on pasture-it really opened my eyes up to how many calving troubles are man made. When we pen calved we maybe helped 5%. One summer we were droughted out and we were just getting into pasture calving-the only water we had was in a pasture with solid bush-we just bit the bullet and turned them out to calve-we had 90 or so calves in a couple weeks with no problems it kind of made a believer out of me. We run Angus/Hereford/South Devon cattle and kind of use middle of the road bulls in each breed. If your going to push the performance thing a bit harder you probably should babysit alot more I guess. [/QUOTE]
