[QUOTE="Dana Kopp, post: 514023, member: 873"] We had one two or three years ago, a heifer also whose bull calf's nose wasn't lined up with his feet. It was just off center enough that is kind of "drug" as she pushed. We knew that this bull had been throwing large calves (oops) so I checked on her and when the progress wasn't what I would have expected checked, took me about a second to straighten the head (feet were just coming out) and I can say I helped, but she would have done it on her own, it certainly wasn't a hard pull, I just didn't want to take a chance. Yep, those 95+# calves out of heifers...gotta love that :o ...but if they can handle that we don't have to worry about them when they are cows, things are nicely stretched! [/QUOTE]
