Calving, Postpartum Care & Rebreeding Proper calving and postpartum management ensure cow recovery and fast return to heat. Before Calving: Move the cow to a clean, quiet calving pen. Provide soft bedding and clean water. Watch for calving signs: swollen udder, restlessness, and discharge. During Calving: Normal calving takes 2–4 hours. Avoid interference unless complications arise. If cow strains for over 6 hours, call a vet immediately. After Calving: Let the cow lick the calf for bonding. Giv

Most calving problems aren’t about what you did. They’re about when you did it. Understanding the 3 stages of labor helps you make better decisions in the moment and avoid unnecessary pulls, injuries, and losses. Watch closely. Know the signs. And don’t hesitate to call if progress stalls. Save this. It’s one every producer should know. #rockingkmvet #kansasveterinarian #bovinevet #vetmed | Rocking KM Veterinary Service
