[QUOTE="dun, post: 195520, member: 34"] Here's a little different perspective but with the same advice. We waited to long this week-end to pull a calf. It turns out that the sack was very thick and tough, only one foot managed to break through, the rest of the calf was still all balled up inside the sack so the other leg couldn;t extend. Once I managed to get the other foot clear of the sack and the head uncovered the calf slipped right out. One more of Ma Natures little tricks to keep us all learning new stuff. When I mentioned it to the vet he commented that every calf he has had to pull this year have been in very thick tough sacks. He is at a loss as to what is happening with the extra thickness/toughness deal this year. dun [/QUOTE]
