[QUOTE="regolith, post: 644470, member: 9267"] That wouldn't be my heifer, because if the cervix is fully relaxed I'd have pulled the calf by now. I've seen a few of these - calf alive and content, everything appears normal. I don't leave them overnight, basically. If she's been going six hours or so and there's still no sign of the feet it gets hauled out. Then the calf shakes its head, gets to its feet and starts sucking... I don't know why they do it. If it's an older cow and I find the calf is fine, I'd treat her for milk fever before turning her out to get on with calving. But most of those I seem to end up bringing back in anyway 3 - 4 hours later to pull the calf. [/QUOTE]
