    The afterbirth dairy cows like to eat it but we usually try to get it out of the way. Haven't had any beef cows calve yet were I work though some are showing signs. Try not to have them calve before the end of February. Some will start now that it is cold. Had bulls get in in april and had a few January calves. When it was cold no less. Some will this week though.

    Tagging them and giving them medicine can be an adventure. Why shovel is sometimes necessary. Cow will charge after you.If calf comes out allright usually tag them and leave them alone. Some custom fed cows have calved and can be dangerous in confined space.

    A calf you have to pull if you can't catch cow some people I work with well it can be a major adventure with some x rated vocabulary.
