[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 9372"] In my opinion the heifer was down way too long. A leg could have down along side the calf instead of over its head, it could have been just plain too big, etc. When they have trouble like that, I pull the little sucker out (slowley and carefully) as soon as I have something to grab onto. It happens. It is important to watch heifers closely. The first calf is hell on alot of cows. I would not worry about the rest of the herd unless for some reason they are all 2 year olds and new at calving. > My two year old cow was in labor > in the late Afternoon.
