[QUOTE="Victoria, post: 507626, member: 1258"] Almost all of our cows I am able to help on the field if necessary. I put on the gloves and have a really good feel on size and make sure everything is lined up properly. Then I use chains. After putting on the chains I put big winter gloves under the plastic gloves so I can wrap the chains around my hands for pulling. I'm not all that strong and this helps. I will intervene sooner than a lot of people again due to my strength. I need to have the help of the cow so I can't wait until she is too tired. I don't go running around pulling every cow I see though either. If the calf is really large or is a malpresentation I get the cow in and phone the vet. He comes day or night, charges very little and doesn't mind coming. Thankfully he doesn't come often for pulling anyway. :) [/QUOTE]
