Calving, Postpartum Care & Rebreeding Proper calving and postpartum management ensure cow recovery and fast return to heat. Before Calving: Move the cow to a clean, quiet calving pen. Provide soft bedding and clean water. Watch for calving signs: swollen udder, restlessness, and discharge. During Calving: Normal calving takes 2–4 hours. Avoid interference unless complications arise. If cow strains for over 6 hours, call a vet immediately. After Calving: Let the cow lick the calf for bonding. Giv
