[QUOTE="jkwilson, post: 66385, member: 969"] Pulling a breach is hard on the calf and cow. You can't expect the cow to be a great mother immediately after such an experience. It is also rough on a calf's legs, and they usually are a little slow to come around. We usually try to back off as quickly as possible after an assisted delivery, but we watch to see if the cow is mothering. If not, you've got to get the calf dry right away, and get its belly full of colostrum soon. We don't calve until March to reduce the weather strain on the newborns. You may not get the best advice from a vet out on an emergency call. You would probably have gotten more help and better advice from an experienced cattleman or cattlewoman in this case. Baytril is an antibiotic, has nothing to do with cold tolerance. [/QUOTE]
