[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1116263, member: 9096"] If you think she's significantly bagging up, I would doubt you're 26 days early... of course it's also hard to tell when they're laying down. Do you have hip lifters? or a neighbor who does?.. might be an idea to locate some ahead of time, and get the rigging together since you probably can't get under the barn with a front end loader to do it, you'll need some pulley blocks and a good length of rope. I found home depot has a really nice nylon braided 7/16" rope in a 100' length that would do nicely for that... Maybe someone has a winch on their truck you could run up to the rafters and back down to the hip lifter? Just some ideas for preparation! [/QUOTE]
