[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 810400, member: 6198"] Lubing helps to reduce friction. If you have to reach in the first thing you do is feel around. You want two feet and a head. Anything else i would recommend calling your vet until you get more comfortable. The hooves should be pointed upwards. Downwards and you have a problem. IF they are down, most likely backwards. Then you have to feel around and make sure you get the tail coming with the legs....so much to learn... A tip i can give you is, when you pull a calf which is coming out normal, just before you reach the hips of the calf, change directions and pull the calf down towards the cows legs. The shift in direction more often than not pops the hips out. Gravity...works the best [/QUOTE]
