[QUOTE="Weaver, post: 453053, member: 410"] I worked for a dairy throughout high school and college, and it seemed like every fifth cow had to have help. They came upside down, backwards, upside down and backwards, one leg foreward, head back or sometimes the calf was just too dang big and needed a little help. One thing though is when you had to readjust a calfs position, it wasn't to hard considering the frame siz of holsteins. We haven't had any problems in our beef cows, knock on wood, but we did this summer have a small framed black baldie heifer come up pregnant in the feedlot and tried calving right at 15 months of age. The calf had one leg back to make matters worse and when I got off of work and got home the calf was dead and its head was swelling to add to the difficulty of repostioning it. Finally after much effort, called the vet to come out to help us out. Heifer survived the whole ordeal, but I want to do my best to not have that happen again. [/QUOTE]
