[QUOTE="ROB, post: 507556, member: 3467"] well at least for me anyway. out checking on cows and found a first calf heifer with her water broke and feet showing. she was pretty restless and not showing any signs of pushing. since i didn't know when she actually started calving, i thought i should help her out. usually pull calves with the cow on a rope, but this moring i opted to pull the calf with her in the chute. everything went well - 1/2 blood bull calf in the range of 80 lbs. (didn't have time to weigh as i needed to get on to work). what was so unusual, during the entire pulling process i never noticed the heifer push- not once. apparently the birthing hadn't been going on too long when i found her as the calf was still in very good condition even after a pretty good pull. my first thought is to cull the first calf heifer, but my second thought is to give her one more try next year.
