[QUOTE="Silver, post: 1498379, member: 12520"] Had one like this yesterday. Calf's head completely out. Pushed it back in, straightened it, and it popped right out. They can be pulled with a leg back, if there is room. I would use a head snare on the head and a chain on the foot. Much more chance of a screw up this way but I've done it successfully. But I did get to a cow on time this year to watch her deliver a calf with a leg back. Of course, because I showed up she felt the need to stand, then fall down and broke the calf's neck. Then she gave a push and spat the calf out just as I got to her. I was just in time to see the light fade from its eyes :( [/QUOTE]
