[QUOTE="regolith, post: 975228, member: 9267"] I'll share some of my experience for your mental files. A cow attempting to deliver a breech or head back calf will often *not* show normal signs of labour. The typical presentation is as described above - discomfort, sometimes a bit of blood or fluids leaking, placenta coming away before calf, maybe holding tail out maybe not. I'm with the crew that would have checked this cow long ago. Having said which, I had one this last spring I left about eighteen hours after seeing a trace of blood on her tail, waiting for her to come into labour. We pulled live twins out of her, both healthy four month old calves today, first one breech second one backwards. Sometimes you can get lucky. [/QUOTE]
