[QUOTE="regolith, post: 735486, member: 9267"] That is the hardest situation I come across regularly, usually one or two a year. I nearly always end up having to call the vet to them - breech is a cinch in comparison. I fixed one this year, live calf, but it was a whole different scenario. Eight year old cow, found her flat out, bloated with milk fever. I stabbed her, called the vet for advice, pulled the calf. The calf wasn't ready to come out and that's why the head kept flopping back - if I'd put a rope on the head right from the start it wouldn't have been a problem. I just couldn't risk the possibility of the cow bloating up again and aspirating fluids. I culled her the beginning of last month for foot problems - she recovered well from calving and the calf was fine too. [/QUOTE]
