[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 542575, member: 7509"] You are probably right. He was born on a Sunday. Noticed hooves before church, same hooves after church, heifer not showing signs of distress. About an hour later same hooves. Called the vet (since I am not very experienced in calving problems - which may have been a plus this time). Vet was on another emergency and would call back. Called a neighbor who said if the heifer is not in distress just keep an eye on her. (good advice) Went back out to the field, about 5 hrs after first seeing hooves, and there was the heifer licking this huge calf clean. On second thought, I sure don't want to go through that again especially with a smaller heifer or cow. That is what I needed to hear. Steer he will be. It will be interesting to see how he turns out. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
