Well, I guess you learn the longer you live - I have only been in the business a short time, three years, and last year was the first time I was able to actually watch a few of my calves being born. The ones I watched were all born with mothers standing. Oh, they would lay around for a while, but the actual births were made standing up. I didn't know they were born laying down!
