[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 827819, member: 9096"] well, on one of the calves I had to pull this year, he was doing fine and breathing when he was halfway out, but was hiplocked and he was bawling his eyes out for 20 minutes (I'm sure the chains weren't comfy), but as soon as we got him all the way out, he stopped breathing... Here's why you take a first aid course.. CPR.. can do it on a calf too... I felt for a pulse, which he had, so I cleaned out his mouth and nose, then sealed his mouth and 1 nostril, and blew into the other... make sure you extend the neck to do this or you'll never get any air into the lungs After pulling for all I was worth, and then performing CPR for a minute, I was the one in need of the first aid, but it all paid off, he came to again and started breathing... the joke we have about him is his front end is an hour older than the rest of him do you know if these calves were alive to begin with? like when the nose started showing?... did they get stuck for any time at the chest? As for the cows, we had one mysteriously die on us the first day we fed hay in the winter... no idea why, figure hardware poisoning but from what I understand you'd probably see it sickish the day before A bale of hay works well to throw a calf on to clear his throat [/QUOTE]
