[QUOTE="RVF, post: 510737, member: 7960"] I find that it does not make a difference whether they calve outside or inside. However, I have found that if you bring a cow inside a few days prior to calving you can delay the calving up to a week. For that reason, I bring the cows in the barn either 2 weeks before they are due, or after they calve. Assuming that you bred the Hereford heifers to a similar style bull as the Holstein, I expect you will have to help the Holstein heifer just as much as the Hereford heifers. Personnally, I would only help 1 - 2% of all heifers, however, I have never been very quick to help the animals and it seems to weed out the heifers that do not want to calve on their own. [/QUOTE]
