[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1512129, member: 16453"] Not that hard to do, True Grit's plunger is a good idea. Back in the 70's when I first started practice I worked in an old run down Vet practice that used to be quite a busy dairy practice back in the day, the good thing was in the junk pile under the house it had a lot of interesting old equiptment and there was no shortage of calving gear. One piece I used a lot was a Coombs crutch, just a stainless steel rod with handle and a U shape at the other end, it was great for repelling the calf and as well as an offending bent limb can be much more easily reached and straightened also the leg usually pops up closer. You don't lose ground by pushing them back in. I was never in a busy cow practice so my experience is limited but one that I have experienced thinking it was hiplocked that wouldn't shift was a calf with one back leg forward, trying to go through the pelvis at the same time as the hips. It is a difficult one to know that it is happening. Ken [/QUOTE]
