[QUOTE="NonTypicalCPA, post: 1416386, member: 25371"] I had my first calf last spring from a belted galloway heifer I didn't know was pregnant. We had to pull that calf as it presented with the nose and only one foot. The other foot was tucked back. It was a tough pull but everyone came through it. I had been feeding that heifer 12.5% grain about a 2 quart scoop a day up until she delivered. I've read a couple times now that you should stop feeding grain a month before delivery, but I wanted to confirm here if that is the case? The calf was only 62lbs, but belties are a smaller breed. I've been graining them daily and am getting close to being a month out and wondering if I should stop? [/QUOTE]
