I was wondering how important or how much exercise a cow or heifer should get like a week before calving date? I am asking this because I don't have calving runs but I do a 14'X16' pens that I was going to use when I bring the cows in to calve. Most of the time we try and have the calves out in pasture and then bring them in right away but it is very very wet now and is only going to get worse with big rain storm moving in over next week when cows are due.
So question, bring them in to pens this weekend to calve next week sometime or let them outside then bring them in?
thanks in advance.....
