[QUOTE="Farmhand, post: 102837, member: 1292"] diamond a - no one is against assisting delivery IF the heifer is showing signs of struggle. Pulling every one of them at the 1st sign of delivery is another thing though. How well do they do on their 2nd calves? I know this is a different species but - you never want to do that with hogs. If you pull the pigs on a gilt just 'cuz she's ready to deliver, you will be pulling every litter after. She gets conditioned to only put in that much effort. Wonder if it is the same in cattle.
