[QUOTE="gertfan, post: 676035, member: 4237"] In response to the lasts couple of posts about breach calves. Our cows are in excellent condition and we do not need to find a new vet. In both breach cases that we had this year, the cows had been trying to have the calves for several hours, we check them morning and evening. The calves presented tail first and their back legs were up underneath them we were unable to reposition them and the vet was unable to also. The cows had been pushing for so long that it was now a dry birth, making things even more difficult. The first cow ended up being paralyzed, we decided to put her down. Second cow died on her own. This is the first time in all the years my husband and his family have had cattle that they have ever had this happen; something like 30+ years. If some of you think you could do a better job maybe we should call you when we have a problem come up or better yet you could come to our farm and tell us what you think we need to do differently.
