[QUOTE="JW IN VA, post: 1498354, member: 21289"] MY :2cents: . I like my heifers to calve at 26 to 28 months,at least. Like to have them bred to calving ease bulls. Need to feed them well,just not too well.A fat heifer is going to have more problems. I have my eight on 16 plus acres ,up and down slopes so they have plenty of room to move. That's what I do.Now,what you have or haven't done,I don't know completely but I think its time to get the vet out for a consult.We've had mostly Angus for years but I don't remember any Herefords giving any problems calving. Postpartum paralysis is not real common but does happen.Most get up in less than 7 days but I did have one down for 6 weeks,once.And yes, we carried feed and water to her twice a day.She had gone in an old shed so weather wasn't a factor. I'm not trying to get in your face,just offer suggestions learned from being around cattle most of 60 years and still don't know it all. Hope things improve. [/QUOTE]
