[QUOTE="CowgirlUpNY, post: 375930, member: 4092"] For those of you that have taken the time to answer my questions, you know that we are small time compared to.....well, anyone. Well, a friend of a friend has two cows that he HAS to get rid of. The pasture he kept them at was sold and he needs to get rid of them YESTERDAY. They are both pregnant, one due to drop any day and the second in a month. Well, we bought them. Lord help us!!! LOL They will probably be here tomorrow or the next day. We've still got the last three in our quarentine pen, so we are going to put two 10 foot gates across our run in shed and put them there with fresh bedding. These will be our first calving cows. According to the now owner, they are proven calvers with no problems. I'm really a 'let nature take it's course' person. Are there any warning signs I should watch for to signal impending birth so that I can keep an eye on them?? Or any signals that would be cause for alarm?? LOL, it's still the maternity ward around here. I'm due to have our second child any day!! Thought for sure it was going to be last night. edit: and I should also add that I'm a little nervous about have a cow so close to calving (any day now) without her really knowing her new 'home' or us.
