Abstract
It was, of course, necessary to study the mother and calf from the moment of birth. This proved surprisingly difficult since calving time was often on freezing nights in October to November, or between February and March. In our own interests, therefore, we became quite skilled at predicting approaching parturition. These observations may be of use to others and there fore are described.
