[QUOTE="midTN_Brangusman, post: 1403440, member: 23858"] Sorry to hear that M5. I also had to pull one Saturday morning. Was feeding hay and noticed a heifer with two feet crossed and water bag hanging out. Got her up and pulled the calf, wasn't a hard pull either. She possibly could have had it if I gave her more time but I wasn't sure how long she had been like that so I improvised. I left her and the calf alone for a while, Came back an hour later and she had licked him off but the calf was very weak so I tubed him some Colostrum and he perked up but died last night. I rarely have to pull one but when I do I have not had a good success rate . Are there any tricks to jump starting these calves? We have prayed since the fire for the folks who lost it all and will continue. [/QUOTE]
