[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 442165, member: 968"] When assisting a calving, you should have lube handy and be VERY generous with it. We actually have a small pump we modified & put a long tube on it. You just cover the end with your hand to protect the cow and move it all around inside while someone (me!) pumps the lube. You want the calf to be real slimey. And, of course, you work WITH the cow, only pulling when she pushes. You must take your time, she has to dialate properly. It shouldn't make any difference - whether you use a puller or just straps. Two strong men can pull a cow apart as easily as a puller. [/QUOTE]
