[QUOTE="kjonesel, post: 1228041, member: 16842"] I've haven't had to use anything for years. But there was a time when we had one that had the water break and we missed her attempting to have the calf (it had a head turned backwards) we used surgical soap to clean up and turn the head around. When I can observe them calving I have never had to lubricate one to get it out. I can't think of anything that would be appropriate. You are dealing with a sterile field and any type of oil such as mineral oil is not sterile. Whatever you buy and open has to be used immediately because is becomes contaminated once opened. It is a problem I haven't had to deal with. When I put a uterus back in last February I put the cow on a 3-day regimen of Baytril and she is due to deliver any day. [/QUOTE]
