[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 196373, member: 2308"] One rule of thumb (that I have heard) for whether or not to pull the calf is that once the calf's head is in the pelvic opening, you should be able to put your hand between the calf's head and the top of the cow's pelvis. If you can't then head to the vet, if you can go ahead and pull. Of course, this would likely depend a LOT on the size of your hands. If you have small dainty hands (kinda like me) then you should probably have a bit more room in there than just the size of your hand, and if you have big huge hands (like a lot of large men) then maybe a really tight fit is all you need. But anyways, it is something to consider. [/QUOTE]
