[QUOTE="moses388, post: 1692352, member: 27368"] If I see mucus or a plug, I will check back in an hour or two. If I see a waterbag or calf part, that heifer or cow gets to meet my arm. Cows get some leeway because they have had a calf before, but heifers 2+ days late get my arm. I check to see the position of the calf. Is it down or up? Am I able to find the head? If I go in and the head is at the cervix, than I am checking for dilation. ....I have a very old cow. She is a good mother and raises a big calf. I have pulled her calf the past 3 years. When it's time she is vocal and runs around with her tail in the air. I have taken a chance by retaining one of her daughters.... [/QUOTE]
