[QUOTE="Silver, post: 1572068, member: 12520"] I did exactly the same thing a few years ago, for the same reason. And again last night :shock: Last night was a little different though, cow had started calving but wasn't pushing, so put her in the chute, reached in and found two legs and two heads. The two legs did not belong the head that was leading the race to the exit. Managed to find a leg that belonged to the leading head and got it straight. Cow started pushing right away and the head came out. I used a head snare and a chain on the available leg and she came out easy. Second calf I just grabbed its front legs with my hands and slid it out. [/QUOTE]
