[QUOTE="mom to 4, post: 371946, member: 5790"] Our cows calve in the pasture, too. I check on them more frequently during the peak of the season keeping in mind which ones I think will be next. This was the first year we kept our heifers up in a pen at calving. Out of 6 heifers, we gave one a little assistance when she stopped making progress. a little pull with a nylon OB strap I picked up for about $3. My dad agreed that it beat baler twine all to pieces. ;-) One other heifer went about 2 hours after the first bag appeared and nothing showing. Called the vet (as I'm not experienced in checking these things out myself) went in for a quick bite of supper while the vet was on his way. By the time I got to the barn, she'd just taken care of things herself. I didn't regret calling the vet, though and would probably do the same thing with a heifer next time. They're right.... God created this process and it's been going on a lot longer than modern medicine. Just like with people... sometimes you need to help a little to keep mom and baby healthy. [/QUOTE]
