[QUOTE="just learnin, post: 316127, member: 2823"] I have followed the board for a year. I hoped I would never be asking these questions. We had our first calf on the ground in Oct. This was our second one and first time heifer. This took place between 7:18 and 8:00 this morning. Husband seen the head and feet and in less than five minutes later calf was out, but unresponsive. He noted unbilical cord was not attached. He opened mouth and didn't see any blockage. He messaged the chest, held it upside down and shook it, etc. This was a two year old Brangus heifer and her first calf. She was bred by a Brangus bull. We were concerned and watching closely. She was over weight. She was due on the 25 of December. She wasn't bagging up. We are not sure how long she was in labor. Placenta came partially out right after the calf, but still has not completely came out and she is still laying down licking the calf. Questions: 1. Should we try to get the cow up? 2. What should we do with the calf? (She doesn't want us near it now) 3. Do you think the calf died during prolonged birth? 4. Is the umbilical usually attached at birth? 5. Any advise? [/QUOTE]
