Calving season not for faint of heart

Need a part-time job?

Tis the season for calving. While this isn’t the traditional college job, it can help generate a little extra income toward the end of spring semester when everyone is feeling the pinch. But you don’t want to just jump into a job like this. To help you become the best heifer calver possible, I have decided to provide a few tips.

First, never underestimate the power of a pregnant female! Heifers about to calve may look rotund, awkward and may waddle instead of walk, but this is just to fool you.
During labor, a heifer’s athletic ability skyrockets. Some studies show up to a 30 percent increase in athleticism during labor. You can estimate how far above her average ability she is by the number of feet sticking out, (ie: one foot equals an approximate 15 percent increase in ability). This first tip will come into play multiple times later on.
