[QUOTE="regolith, post: 667129, member: 9267"] An internet person once told me that cows today were so overbred that most of them needed help to calve. It must have been a nice veggie. It apologised when I set it right. My dairy herd calve unassisted 95 - 97% of the time. The remainder are usually malpresentation - very rarely see a calf too big. I've known far higher assistance rates in other herds, among the 2-yr olds. The assistance rate for humans I believe is around 66% now. It's a wonder the species survived pre-modern obstetrics :???: [/QUOTE]
