[QUOTE="Silver, post: 1771724, member: 12520"] Sorry about your loss. TC has given you good info. You’ll know the cervix is not fully dilated if you can feel what feels like a drawstring holding the birth canal partially (or fully) closed. Manipulating the cervix can cause it to dilate further. It’s also a good idea to spend some time in the birth canal to open it up further. Regarding the head first calf, it seems to be my experience that this presentation is more common when the calf has died prior to birth and is now just a wet noodle. [/QUOTE]
