[QUOTE="lakeportfarms, post: 665061, member: 9413"] Well, apparently one of the forelimbs was retained. We finally got it in position, but I'm certain the calf is dead, we didn't get to it quickly enough. It seems pretty big too. We still think the first expulsion looks like a placenta with the umbilical, so the fact it came out first is a puzzle. We are waiting for the vet to arrive but working on pulling the calf anyway. This is all pretty new to us and we're still learning here, but appreciate the advice. At least we have some good news, I came across a brand new heifer calf yesterday in the pasture must have been born in the past 24 hours. We didn't know when the cow was bred, we thought she would be another month or so. The calf is doing well, I'll have to practice some roping if I hope to catch it, it runs so fast :D Unfortunately we brought this cow to our house closer to the city (our farm is an hour away) because we knew she was due and wanted to keep an eye on her. So we didn't have many options for large animal vets, or call on some friends we know that have more experience. A dog is about the most any of the vets around here have worked on. We'll let the vet know about the possibility of twins. He has about 100 head of cattle himself so once he arrives I guess we'll know more. [/QUOTE]
