[QUOTE="Victoria, post: 602332, member: 1258"] Statistics say 70% of heats happen between 6:00 PM - 6:00 AM so spend 1/2 hour at dawn and dusk watching your cows. We are calving our commercial when it is time to breed our purebred so we usually do a midnight check too just because we are there. I mark with the cheap tail paint and although it isn't fool-proof it does give me an indication. Some cows are less likely to climb when they are pregnant. I always have one or more freezer steers around. I will watch through the summer and the annoying little steer calf that follows the bulls around and tries to climb everyone becomes my dinner.;) [/QUOTE]
