[QUOTE="lithuanian farmer, post: 1391706, member: 19683"] Had a bull calf born yesterday. 113lbs, 286days gestation. Last year she had 154lbs bull calf without problems, and she herself is probably around 1900lbs, so she would have calved very easily, however watched her for almost 20hours since the very beggining and no progress. Checked her and first was coming calf's tail, raer legs were under him. Tried to pull legs out, but during almost 13years we've cattle we'd no wrong possitioned calves, so no practice. Had to call for a vet. Our vet didn't come, so called for another. That one was working in another farm and it'd have took some time, for him to come, so he said to try to call for another vet. Have called to a women vet and she arrived, but cow was pushing all the time, so we needed somebody stronger. Luckily the second vet was able to come and hepulled out both legs in less than a minute. Last autumn we've bought a calving jack, so it was a first time we were able to use it. Luckily both cow and calf are okay. Will post some photos later as now needs to charge photo camera. [/QUOTE]
