When To Intervene When Calving First-Calf Heifers

Calving first-calf heifers is full of sleepless nights and fraught with challenges. One of the most important decisions a producer can make is when to intervene if a heifer is having difficulty birthing a calf. Buddy Faries, Jr., veterinarian with the Texas AgriLife Extension Service, explains what to look for and when to step in.

Yearly we calve about 300 cows, I still enjoy watching videos and listening to other peoples advice. Great video and of course, your info is spot on. New people to the business will find this video very helpful, and a some old timers too.

Very informative video. I have 2 first calf heifers due at the end of March. I'm already nervous as this is my first go around in this area of raising cattle.
