[QUOTE="Dusty Britches, post: 117681, member: 1900"] Sorry to hear about your loss. A while back, we called the vet out to pull a mis-presented calf. It was backwards and the cows pelvis was rotated (genetic). He pulled a live calf, but he told us a story while he worked. He said that very morning a guy brought a cow in that tried to calve 5 days prior. While he spent 2 hours pulling this dead calf, he thought about my husband and I. He said he wished more people were like us and checked cows daily. Funny part was not a few hours before we called the vet my husband was complaining that we worried too much about the cows and "normal" people didn't check cows but once a week. Bigbull - I'm not implying anything about you with that story. This was the first live calf of 5 or 6 that the vet pulled for us. I know how frustrating it can be to lose one. We were lucky to catch that one. We work full time in town and rarely see the cows before we leave for work. [/QUOTE]
