[QUOTE="lakeportfarms, post: 665104, member: 9413"] Well, vet just left. No luck with pulling the calf, it's just too big and the shoulders and head won't get past the cervix, and possibly the pelvis. If we kept it up we would have killed her on the spot. He gave her a shot of oxytocin that will hopefully dialate her a little more. But he was of the opinion that the calf was still too big to get through the birth canal and our best bet was a caesarian. She had been bred with a Hereford bull just before we purchased her last August. I guess we'll see how things go and make a decision what to do tomorrow if the oxytocin doesn't work. She's like a pet to us with a great personality and very docile, but it's hard to swallow the cost of the operation, not to mention the distance and time it may take to get her to Michigan State University.
