[QUOTE="dyates, post: 561421, member: 7137"] I hate to admit it, but I did it once this year. The cow was down and I could not for the life of me get the pullers in a position to do anything. I pulled by hand until I just couldn't pull anymore. I got the calf out to the hips and cleaned off its face. It was bawling and thrashing trying to tear its own way out and I couldn't stand it. Adrenaline took over and I went to the last resort. I expected the worse and the .30/.30 was on standby for a quick end. I'm not proud of it and hope I never have to do it again. Luckily, both survived and momma will get to be hamburger at a later date. As for the calving ease bulls, I couldn't agree more. However, no matter how you plan, you're gonna have a freak somewhere, sometime. [/QUOTE]
