[QUOTE="robert, post: 723354, member: 9171"] 10% assist seems high to me, about the only time we assist is if things are not progressing as they should, I trust my gut instinct on that as almost always it is a malpresentation or twins. Last year we only assisted one heifer (and she was culled), barely saw a calf born and had 2 sets of live, unassisted twins. In the registered herd we've had 7 assists in 4 years including 3 sets of twins, last years heifer and a rather large bull calf out of another heifer. Total of 128 calvings. That's not to say we haven't had a couple cows that had stillborn calves or slipped a calf at 7 or 8 months. [/QUOTE]
