Calving school

So this term at Oregon State University, I will be attending calving school. I am really excited about this. We recieve our cows and heifers ( a heifer is a first time calver, or a young cow that hasn't calved yet) on the 25 of January and then we start going out and doing checks. We will be learning what to look for and how to properly proceed when a cow is calving. They need to be checked by a student 3.8 times a week. Multiple times during the day. We will be feeding in hte evening so they should calve around mid morning afternoon. Our first group is due the first week of February. How exciting. We will not be working with any dairy cows.
