[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 726718, member: 5106"] I agree with Randi do not panic YET.. Out of all the twins we had born last year I had to assist two cows. Both were the second twins, one was still way back and back feet first and the other was the second whose little back legs were crossed when she came out and she got hung up on moms hip bone. Both cows raised their own calves and did a heck of a job ;but that usually is not the norm. As far as pot belly calves I have never had one when I have bottle fed them. The worst ones are the ones that bag up the day they calve. Two years ago I had a cow that I thought would be later, I had`t closed off the far pasture yet and one morning I looked out the kitchen window and there was the cow with a little blk thing standing by her at the top of a hill on the far end of the home quarter. I had to haul the calf home half a mile in a sleigh through 3-4 feet of snow while mom walked behind us. :help: Now that is the first thing I due before calving even gets close. Close the pastures off to them.. Good luck and keep us posted. Now I am off to check on my moms to be and it is brrrr... out there today. [/QUOTE]
