calfing tips

[Weasel]

Hi folks, has anyone got any tips on how to tell if a calf has sooked? Calfing outside at the minute and their normally easy to tell if they've sooked by either seeing them doing it or by the cows teats, but sometimes get an awkward one thats hard to tell. I know if they get up an stretch and warm nose etc, has anyone got any more? It boils my pee not being certain, if u see them get up an stretch an go in for a sook the jobs a good un can go away settled their ok.
Thanks

Feel the belly of one that you know is empty and one that you know is full. You'll never wonder again.

Don't think Rams can have calves?

Those from NI will possibly get it too.

Thread title. Tips are what they call tups/rams so the thread is like saying calving tups.

A ram is often given the slang name of Tip in some parts, just like tup in others.
