[QUOTE="Koffi Babone, post: 1408371, member: 22429"] If you do decide to explore inside, you should wash your arms and the cows behind with mild soap. Helps if someone else is holding on to the mother's tail. For correcting a real breech (tail only, i.e. calf is sitting like a dog), rotate the rear leg towards the center of the calf and then pull. Use the palm of your hand to cover the hoof as you're doing so, this decreases the risk piercing the uterus. Use your other hand to push on the calf's rump as you are doing this. It also is much easier if the mother is standing.... As another poster said, easier said than done.... [/QUOTE]
