[QUOTE="TheBullLady, post: 199413, member: 173"] You can't always be there at the right time, unless you've got 24/7 to devote to your herd. It sounds like you did the best that you could do under the circumstances. Those things happen. It is very hard to reposition after the cow has been pushing for awhile. We've had this presentation before, so when I see a cow in labor the first thing I look for is two feet. Of course one is generally back farther, but if it looks suspicious, we'll sleeve her and make sure. The worse presentation I've ever had was with the head back. What a nightmare! Three of us plus a vet. Actually got the calf out and she and the cow both lived, but it was touch and go for awhile. We didn't think we'd EVER get it out. [/QUOTE]
