[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 1077079, member: 14661"] I don't mean to sound offensive, but I've been around alot of young vet techs and vets that needed a whole lot more experiance with cattle before they started telling everyone else how to do it. I am not there seeing what you see so I may be wrong and my sincere apologies if I am but heifers can be tricky. I've seen a few that did kind of drag it out for a day or two before heavy labor began. Obvious discomfort is open to interpretation. One such case just happened to be in a pasture that neighbored people who knew everything there was to know about cattle(no, they really did... all I had to do was bring it up and they would tell me everything there was to know, especially all the stuff I, and just about everyone else with cattle does wrong :mrgreen: ) including a daughter studying to be a vet tech. I drove by for three days and thought, "she's getting close" and kept on driving. Once labor really began it was a two hour deal. That whole neighborhood is still talking about the miracle calf that survived four days in labor and that family doesn't speak to me anymore. :roll: I hope for the heifers sake that I'm right. I do like that you care enough to step on toes and step in. I do feel that it is his right to manage his calving as he sees fit. [/QUOTE]
