Did they just turn 2 or are they in the 2's? There are a lot of potential problems. I live with heifer calving issues since I've not sold a heifer calf since 1998. I breed all mine out and sell as either springers, cows and calves, or sell cull cows.
With heifers close to 2, and slightly under there may be some pulls. I usually lose 1 out of 30 or so every year no matter how close I check them. Calf wise, I usually end up saving about 8 out of 10.
As to challenges, heifers dont really know what to do. Nature tells them but sometimes they listen better than others. I saved one calf last week. She had him in a good spot except it rained 2 inches that night and we had snow melt. Little guy was right where the water was running. I got him in the tractor cab, got some rehydrated colostrum in him, and toweled him off good. She kept wanting to leave when he was out of sight but I managed to get him warm enough to get back to her before she got too far away. They made up and he seems fine now. 19 more to go here.....
