[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 842486, member: 968"] If a heifer does not progress after 1 hour, she should be checked and assisted. If she has quieted down, you might be able to "lure" her with grain, since she is used to being handled. Are your cattle electric fence broke? I use polywire on a reel & tie it off to the corner of the lot/gate & walk around the cattle using the polywire as a moving fence. You have to do this slow & easy if they are not used to it. Never get a vet out before animal is totally confined. They "smell" "sense" strangers and will not cooperate. Plus, the vet may never want to come out again. Hope you have a good relationship with him/her! Calf can survive quite a while - but this is getting pretty long. Let us know how you make out - one way or other. [/QUOTE]
