[QUOTE="born2run, post: 441316, member: 2498"] Just curious if any of you have found a direct correlation between using a jack and the heifer/cow suffering paralysis? When you are using a jack, how fast do you go? I've heard different opinions as to how fast to pull a calf. There's a wide difference between the herd manager and myself to the boss and his son, who pull the calf like there's a fire to attend to. Some tell me to go wide open and save the calf's life, the other one is telling me to go one "click" at a time and allow more natural dialation. Also wondering if any of you have noticed that when the calf is dead the dam doesn't have a lot of natural lubrication? [/QUOTE]
