The cows will tell you. You mention "barn" but you don"t say how the cow is confined. She needs to be in a pen by herself where she can look after the calf. Tie stalls don"t work unless you are right there when it happens. We used to calve dairy cows in a tie stall barn and turn close ones loose at night. And we missed some. But our goal was a milking cow, not a live calf. Once the cow starts to show signs of being uneasy, holding her tail up, etc, she should have a calf within 24 hrs or you better wonder why not. Once she lies down and starts straining you should see something in an hour or two. You should see two feet. Front feet, dewclaws down, and shortly a wet nose. If she does not make any progress from this point within an hour you had better get some assistance. Or if the presentation is wrong, ie back feet, no feet tail first or whatever, get professional help as soon as you can.
