[QUOTE="Bright Raven, post: 1525276, member: 27490"] Thanks. Got 15 more coming in the next 6 weeks. One cow slipped her pregnancy and I put an embryo in her. But you are right on! Fire Sweep and I thought this cow is the size and build that would handle a Broadway calf. I bred 2 other big cows to Broadway. Two more due in a couple weeks. There is also the question if she needed assistance. It was a judgement call. I gave her 3 hours. After 3 hours, I put her in the facility. Presentation was correct. At that point, I put chains on and gave her some help. Got the front out by a combination of her pushing and me pulling. Then the hips locked. I twisted the calf and it unlocked the hips. I said they were vertical when I pulled but in retrospect, probably more diagonal. Assistance is a judgement call. [/QUOTE]
