[QUOTE="callmefence, post: 1598627, member: 24947"] I don't have any blue ribbons, or any papered cattle. But I've been around cattle that where expected to take care of themselves my entire life. I've pulled a lot of calves. And I will say without a doubt inexperience can play into calving problems every bit as much as size. If you've never seen a older cow lay down, twist around, get up and repeat calm and cool as she positions the calf herself. Vs a heifer that lays down and pushes till exhaustion, or panics and does no telling what. ..you haven't been paying attention... A mature cow is both bigger and more experienced. And very much more capable of dealing with a malposition d calf than a heifer. [/QUOTE]
