[QUOTE="Bez, post: 66619, member: 412"] Yikes - tough question. My criteria goes like this. Water breaks - 2 hours. Feet seen - one hour max - look for a nose just back of the feet - that means the calf is at least lined up for delivery. Any time I see her "flat out" and not straining - time to worry. Usually I just show up in the pasture and they are finished - cull hard and look for "broad backed" animals. To pull is a last resort. Probably not much help, but it is simply what we do.
