[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 14262"] If nothing is hanging out she has probably passed it already. Keep an eye on her for signs of fever or going off feed, otherwise nothing else to do. If something is hanging out, tie it up in a knot so that it doeasn't drag or get stepped on, the weight of it will help it pull loose. dunmovin farms > We had to pull the calf... big > heifer at about eighty pounds ... > I had fed mama too well, and she > was fat.
