[QUOTE="WFfarm, post: 1800365, member: 39155"] We found a cow trying to calve yesterday morning with a bad breach presentation. Calf's tail was only thing coming out, no feet. Cow had been in labor for several hours when we found her. She was sprawled out and bloated, thought she was dead when we walked up on her. Called the vet and they would be 45 minute ETA. Got to work. Able to roll he back on her belly, got feet pulled around under her and soon heard a long burp that relieved the bloat. Huge calf and we tried to push it back in to reorient but no luck. Couldn't get the cow to stand. She was exhausted but still trying to push. Vet finally arrived and was able to get an epi shot in her. Had to strap and lift the back end with the loader to try and get the calf back in but no luck. Calf was dead and starting to bloat. C section was not a good option on a cow that can't stand and out in the elements. Had to cut both back legs off with the OB wire and were able to pull the rest of the calf out by the pelvis. Vet got meds and an IV in for the cow. She was doing better in the evening, but still not able to get up. We'll have to work with her over the next couple days, but we may still loose the cow. Not a fun way to start of the calving season. [/QUOTE]
