Christmas breech

[callmefence]

Me and the wife went for impromptu ride yesterday afternoon. Some ryegrass drilled into a native grass field looks pretty good.
A purchased hiefer with her first calf.
Wife noticed the little red cow down in the cedars as we were headed back. I immediately decided she needed help and we walked her to the closest pen. Little fellow decided to back into the world. A little push back in and his back legs got untwisted , a little tug with a piece of hay twine and he came out like cork out of a bottle. Lots of luck in that little pair.

Sometimes you are just in the right place at the right time. Great for you and her, that you got the calf straightened out and a successful birth. Merry Christmas present for both.

Well done and the timing was just right!

Good job Fenceman, It's the little victories.

My neighbor has a cow that's been down over a week. He's been picking her up and letting her stand for 45 minutes or until she gets tired every day after work. Today she finally walked and grazed for about 50 yards before another cow knocked her down. I wouldn't have given $50 for her last week but did split a set of hip huggers with him to get her up. Should've bought a set years ago. Only thing I see wrong with her is her right front quivers like she hurt it.

Good catch Fence, glad Mrs Fence has a set of eyes on her. Well done sorting it out.
