[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 673784, member: 13"] For what it's worth, in 2005 a Krugerrand heifer was walking the pasture with one leg sticking out of her. I watched her for a while. Sometimes you could see both feet, but no nose. So I got the vet up here and she pulled him. The vet said everything was fine inside the cow. She was in labor, plenty of room for the calf to pass, the cervix was relaxed, but the outer muscles around the vagina hadn't relaxed. She said she didn't think it was a genetic problem; she'd seen several cases in commercial herds that spring. So we didn't haul her to the sale barn. She licked the calf from stem to stern, he got up, nursed and turned into a decent bull calf (Pfred). The cow has since had several other calves with no problems. The one daughter in production hasn't had problems. [/QUOTE]
