[QUOTE="dun, post: 1202924, member: 34"] We've had some heifers drop 90 lb plus calves unassisted, still not desireable as far as I'm concerned. We pulled a dead calf last year from a heifer. Calf had one leg folded across it's chest put she has still managed to get it half way out. Temp in the single digits and a week early. Calf was frozen to death and frozen to the heifer. Poured warm water over it and pulled it with just a fair tug with the calf jack. Calf weighed 89 lbs. Cow was fine and bred back first service after being a nurse cow for another calf who's momma had very little milk. The latter cow is gone to the great freezer in the sky and the other is due early february [/QUOTE]
