[QUOTE="Little Cow, post: 324883, member: 5507"] Hey, thanks for all the inputs, guys! I guess I can leave them out until about 10-15 days prior to due date, (they are heifers), if I can stand it. Just don't want them dropping a calf in the field they are in now. My husband likes it when I bring the cows in because I collect the manure daily for him to compost for the garden. The fresh field has an extra low strand of barbed wire to keep the little calves in so it should be great once they arrive. The ranches I worked at were affiliated with Colorado State U, so they had the fancy stuff, like blow by oxygen for weak calves. Their cattle were pretty fat, too, (averaged about eight), so dystocia was about 10%. It was also quite cold there. I am more concerned about fly control than cold temps down here in Florida! Thanks for some brand names. I'll check with the vet before buying any meds. [/QUOTE]
