[QUOTE="2DM Limousin, post: 625915, member: 9341"] Well not sure if you ment she was a cow or heifer. About 2 weeks before you will see her lose her vaginal plug. That will be a jelly like substance from her vulva, It will mostly be stuck to her rump or tail. That is the first indecation (approx 2 weeks) then when you see her water sac, you are real close. Once you see pertrution of the feet put her on the clock. (We give 2hrs) watch for the proper presentation. Front hoves down with nose on top. Let her do her thing and most likly all will be fine. If she had not had it after 2 or so hours, aid her either with your skills or the vet. Let her do her thing, don't bother her and get her to exicited. Lot of times we dry the calf off and rub it briskly to get the blood flowing good. Also helps in cold weather. Get back and let the calf learn to stand and he will hunt for the meal ticket on his own. If he has not sucked.12 to 15 hours later, We drinch with colostrum/electorlites and go from there. Hope I've helped. Enjoy the miracle of birth. Dan. [/QUOTE]
