[QUOTE="ginnkam, post: 28046, member: 362"] I have a almost three year old hereford cross heifer bred to an easy calving angus hereford cross bull, she was due to calve on April 27, and for the last two days she will lie down and moan and grown, she seems very uncomfortable. She is very swollen on the back end, her udder is reasonably full, and she appears to have dropped (*there is a distinct hollowing around her hip bones (like she lost weight), and her tail is very distinct.) When she swishes her tail she is so loose that it actually jiggles and opens up. I am sorry if I am being too vivid (but this will be my first calf since we started cattle farming). When she lies down she seems to be straining, you can actually see the opening about 5 inches long and 1 inch open in width. There is no discharge that I can see. I guess my main concern is for her and her calves well being. I am very scared that the calf is malpresented and I don't know if I should attempt to check her for fear of making things worse. Any advice would be great. thanks [/QUOTE]
