Not sure if I should of helped or not- My second calve and heifers first, she had the calves hoofs hanging in and out for about 1 hour where it looked like she wasnt making progress. As she stood up and laid down the hoofs would go in and come out not a big deal makes sense so far, when she laid down and had contrations the front feet would come out 4 or 5 inches but she would get up and the calve seemed too slide in and then she would have to start over after an hour maybe a bit more I decided to pull just too help her out, no chains or straps just hands on a couple more pushes and he was out. Right or wrong?
I am new to this but I am figuring out or hoping that heifers are a pain in the rear, right or wrong meaning this is my second heifer my second calve and both heifers got extremely rough with the calves. As the calves stood up both heifers shoved the calves around preety good(rougher than I would think). We had too halter both heifers before they would stand still before they would nurse. (right or wrong)?
I am hoping its just heifers being first timers?
One more thing the second calve a white bull calve weighed 91lbs is that a lot for a heifer? The bull I used is well known for calve ease and the breed is shorthorn? I might have a couple more questions but will wait and see the respnse on these. thanks
