[QUOTE="MikeC, post: 570043, member: 1604"] to convince me that small birthweight calves have no bearing on abnormal presentations. Had an angus heifer last night that was close. Got her in the barn before dark. An hour later I came back, got her in the chute to check for irregularities and sure enough, both front feet were crossed and down low. After fighting to get the front feet in proper position, we pulled it with little effort but the calf would not breath. Evidentally I must have disturbed the umbilical cord while untangling the feet. The calf weighed 48 lbs. :roll: Went back through my notes and calving records, and was recalling with neighbors this morning about the "Ab" presentations in the past few years and ALL of the problems we encountered like this were very small calves and NO "Average" calves seemed to have this problem according to notes, memory, etc. Give me an 85 - 95 pound live calf anyday!!!!!!
