[QUOTE="Buck Randall, post: 1805408, member: 38590"] It depends. If she's in labor and dilated enough, your vet might be able to just reach in and flip it with their arm. If they aren't strong enough or can't get the right angle, they could chain the calf's feet to an instrument called a detorsion rod that they use to turn it. If she's not dilated or the twist is too tight to get an arm through, they might try rolling her. They might need to do a c-section. Different vets will have different preferences and results with different techniques. Here's a video of some people rolling a water buffalo to fix a torsion.
