[QUOTE="slick4591, post: 975227, member: 16503"] I could care less about the "I told you so" comment. The point is getting out a live calf. Had one last week that went pretty much like this and when I finally reached my hand in I could feel the legs crossed but no head. I thought it was breech, but couldn't get it pulled. Rushed it to the vet at 2:30 am and everyone thought it was dead. They later did a C-section and did manage to get a live calf. Turned out that the crossed front legs caused the head to be raised enough for the chin to catch and turn backwards towards the spine and there was no way it was coming out via the birth canal. You ain't causing any damage by getting your hand in there to see what's going on. No, I don't say stick your whole arm in it. [/QUOTE]
