On average what is the maximum time everyone would allow a cow to try and calve before taking action to help her out? What about a heifer? Calf in correct position,just maybe to large for unassisted birth.
TXAG, sounds like you need to try out my principle of "Natural Selection for Daylight Calvers." PM me and I will be glad to share more info!txag":php7b18r said:time of day also affects our decisions. if it's morning or early to mid-afternoon we may let them try a little longer. if it's getting close to dark, we'll sometimes go ahead & help them out (if they've been trying) so we're not out there in the dark or at midnight trying to pull it.
