I might have asked this not too long ago but I searched it and really couldn't find the answer I was looking for. Hopefully some of the more experienced people on here will give some advice.
I have a calving pen that I use for single cows getting ready to calve and it is no problem. The size of it is 16 x 24.
My question is I have a couple cows that are due on the same day and I was wondering if I split it in two so that each pen which would be be roughly 12 x 16. would this be enough room to get a calf delivered safely? I don't want the cow to lay then push a calf out and lay on it or try to push it out and it stop because she is right up against a fence. thanks for any input that you maybe willing to give on this matter. It is suppose to be cold the week these two are due.
