Heifer is due next week.
She is on the smaller size, while her gut looks to be the size of North Dakota. I have chains ready if needed, but have not used them.
1) If the bottom of the hooves are pointed up, how do you know if they are the front or back legs?
2) How long after you see a pair of legs, would you step in to assist?
3) Where on the exposed legs do you wrap the chains?
4) Do you pull only when cow is pushing?
If I dont see any legs, or only one leg once stong labor has started, how long until I need a vet on site knowing it will be at 2am on a Sunday and it will take some time for them to arrive?
