[QUOTE="Beefy, post: 513488, member: 57"] i had a similar thing happen just recently. a heifer was out in the big pasture and when i went to feed she was laboring like all get out but nothing was showing. i figured i was going to have to pull a breech or something. after i got thru feeding i went and sat near her on the fourwheeler to watch. she strained and strained. finally it looked like her anus prolapsed and then all of the sudden i heard her water bag, which was not visible, break and come gushing out. she promptly got up and moved. anus went back in when that water broke. then she laid down again and pushed and another bag of fluid that was not visible broke and gushed out. she got up and struck out for a new spot. finally i saw one foot show up and then a long time later i could see another though back some. the heifer almost got the head out but couldnt quite do it b/c the leg that was back just a little bit was enough to hang up the shoulders. i wound up pulling the calf. once i got the one leg pulled out evenly it was smooth sailing except the cow had no interest in the calf afterwards, but i kind of figured that was going to happen since she showed no interest in even smelling anything that ever came out of her, much less cleaning it up.
