[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1170682, member: 12607"] Hate to hear it Kris. Agree, probably not the pool. More likely a posterior presentation - back legs first; they can have 'em that way, but once the umbilicus gets compressed coming through the birth canal, they need to push 'em on out pretty quickly - if they don't, the calf doesn't make it. Last heifer here calved uneventfully, on her own, yesterday. Have lost 2 calves out of heifers to 'water hazards' this go-round; guess they're my fault, but the heifers will probably pay the price in the form of a trip to town. Had to have a late night C-section on one last week, and the next day I pulled one that probably would have come on its own if I'd waited, just 'cause I didn't want to be 10:00 pm calling the 'real' veterinarian out. Glad to be done with them... [/QUOTE]
