[QUOTE="Katpau, post: 1583074, member: 9933"] By the way, when I said they may appear dead for a few moments after birth, I meant seconds not minutes. 15 seconds seems like an eternity when you are watching from a distance. If they are not showing some signs of progress shortly after arrival, get in their and stimulate them by rubbing them. The cow will usually do that, but heifers can be confused and kind of scared by what just happened, and you might want to position the calf on its chest and rub it with your hands or a towel to get it going.
