[QUOTE="BAR_R, post: 1053516, member: 6749"] Someone once said the quickest way to have a calf is quit watching the cow. I don't mean to be rude when I say that but if you have had the vet out, which is the right thing to do, and the doc said there is not a problem then just keep an eye on her and let nature do its thing. One thing I would say is quit looking up her skirt. I have had cows string for a few weeks and had no issues. The limp could be a calf laying on a nerve in the hips. It happens sometimes; it has happened to us and is distressing to see but not uncommon. Is this a bull service or an AI? do you have a projected due date? Everything your describing sounds normal to me. Is her tail up? Is it up and kind kinked to one side? That is another sign of eminent labor. I am not a vet I am just sharing my opinion as a cattleman. [/QUOTE]
