[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1571991, member: 968"] Tail first is the only true BREECH. The problem with letting the cow have the calf on her own with a backwards calf - is if she stalls at all at the wrong "timing", the calf will drown. I have a dear friend that told me about using the plunger. I have never tried it, but I find it funny that someone else actually does use that. I think it sounds like a great idea. Just never had the need. (please don't jinx me!!!) He just put the end of the plunger against his chest while he worked the legs. Gives the pulling person both arms to fight getting the legs up. For those not experienced - please note as mentioned above - you MUST cup the hoof while you are re-positioning. [/QUOTE]
