[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 11380"] Yesterday Morning had a first time heifer, calf. I found her in the morning with calves feet still about 8 inches in her and the calf dead. She apparently didn't get up after she calved to check things out. That is just a note of interest. Yesterday afternoon another first time heifer, who had been trying to calf for the better part of the afternoon, we ended up pulling ( breech position). She walked away for about ten minutes or so after we got the calf out, then came back and started licking and cleaning it. It was born about 4:00 pm.
