Response to how to tell when heifer is going into labor

Well i may only be sixteen years old but i am a walking talking no-it- all when it comes to cows. After living and working on both small and large dairies you learn a lot. I've never been wrong on perdicting a cow about ready to calve. Usually the cow or heifer will start bagging up good at 1 week before due to calving. the vaginal area on the cow will become very large. much larger than normal. the cow is usually laying down and you will be able to see that there is force on the vaginal area. however, if the cow is in a stantion you should move her if the calf is not showing. move her to a calving pen or a clean open area where she can lay relax. well good luck!!!
