[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 370718, member: 6198"] in answer to BuckemRanch, we have found that the harder the time to calve, the longer the stress becasue of a big calf, the bigger the calf, the harder the pull... the longer to return to cycle and we have usally found that most are our late calvers next year. We like 70 to 80 # calves on cows and closer to 70 for heiffers. Live is better than dead or a costly C section. In answer to Tiger how long to wait for us depends on the cow. I'm more eager to stick to the strick 1.5 hr for cows and 2 - 2.5 for heiffers and my husband is more wait a bit longer to see. Today a heiffer went 4 hours but that included busting out of the calving corral and travelling in the bush through two gates and then straight into the mat. pen because she was so stressed. Healthy calf though. The joys of calving [/QUOTE]
