[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 324678, member: 9"] Same here with our Longhorns too. When calving getting close we move mama to our "Maternity Pen" (50 x 75' pipe fenced pen with shed and water tank) and let her do her thing. She knows what to do. IF weather is nasty (cold, wet, near freezing) we are prepared to bring calf indoors to warm it up...only had to do this 2X in five years. Longhorns are naturally disease, illness resistant and do very well on their own. Haven't had a single one get sick! We also weigh calf (holding calf while standing on a bathroom scale) within 72 hours if at all possible...let mama have the first 24 hours or so to bond and get calf started on his/her own. [/QUOTE]
