[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 916783, member: 968"] She is beautiful and so is her calf. Good job. Little tip. When trying to rotate the calf to get the hips out, take a cane (or stick) and put it between the calves front legs - close to it's chest, & use the cane to twist the calf. You can put quite a bit of presure on the calf. If we ever have to help at calving, we use a soft cotton rope tied to a pole, looped thru the handles, then back around the pole. Pull tight, then step or sit on the rope - in conjunction with her pushes. You can re-string the rope thru just one handle to work one shoulder thru at a time. [/QUOTE]
