[QUOTE="True Grit Farms, post: 1408093, member: 24694"] A true breech birth is feet forward and is about impossible for a cow to have the calf without help. A breech birth with feet back isn't a big deal just make sure you pull down on the calf. I haven't seen this mentioned on here, but a old fashioned rubber toilet plunger makes dealing with a true breech birth very doable. Its almost like having 2 hands inside the cow. If you reach in and the feet are up and the calf is breech, call a vet a C - section is in order. I've been told that that some folks can rotate the calf and get the feet positioned properly for birth.... so it's possible I guess. [/QUOTE]
