Hooks Broadway heifer.
Due 8/31/2018
DOB 8/25/2018
Gestation 279 days
Weight 97 pounds
Assisted with chains did not use jack.
I gave the cow 3 hours from onset of labor. Feet and head came when pulling while she pushed. Calf got hung at the hips. I was concerned with over pulling. Calf was breathing fine. I twisted the calf until the hips were vertical. I pulled from that position and the calf came with a firm pull.
Calf has a nice shaped head. All black. Odd. With the chrome on this cow, I expected some white. However, this cow is one of my half bloods so the Angus may be having an influence on the lack of chrome
