[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 26156"] I am sorry to hear of your situation. It might have turned out better if the legs were showing, but in your situation, there you seemed to do about all you could. When I was younger, I worked on a dairy farm. We have a heifer that was bred holstein and was trying to calve. The feet were out, but the calf was backward and upside down. If the head wasn't up with the feet, or only one foot forward, we'd usually push the calf back and get it in the correct position. With the heifer though, there was nothing to do but pull it. Big heifer calf and it was alive. Probably lucky. Again, sorry to hear about it and there wasn't much else you realistically could/should have done. [/QUOTE]
