[QUOTE="deaconcreek, post: 214516, member: 3444"] Well things did not go well. I called the vet out, she got here at 10:00 am. We got the cow in the chute and she went nuts, had to let her out. We were working her back around to put her back in and the vet says she has another emergency call up the road from us and she can't wait. She LEFT !!!! I can't believe she just left....Anyway we got her back in the chute, I checked her (first time I had done this) everything was positioned right, since I had never pulled a calf, I decided to wait for the vet. I let her back out and she calmed down, and 1 hour later she delivered a 112# bull calf that was dead. She is ok, and the vet showed back up 2 hours after she left. I said a few choice things and needless to say I am looking for a new vet this morning. Our bulls EPD's for birth weight are low, and the others we have were average of 72#, although the cow is a big girl, this just puts the icing on the cake. The bull is out of here. Although I can't be sure if it would have made a difference if the vet had stayed, I think she should have waited the 15 mins it took me to get her back in. This was the first calf for this heifer, even though she is 4 and a big cow, the vet could have cost me both of them. :mad: [/QUOTE]
