[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 375965, member: 539"] Sorry about the misunderstanding. :oops: From what I've read of your posts - you will be fine. Hopefully the seller knew what he was talking about when he said they were proven. If not, do a half hitch over each foot above the fetlock joint, and another one below the fetlock joint then maintain steady pressure utilizing the mother's contractions to help you get the calf out. Don't jerk, don't pull too hard, just assist. Does that make sense? In the event the calf gets 'stuck' at the shoulders, you can get him 'unstuck' a lot of times by 'walking' him out - that is pulling on one leg, then the other, then the first, etc. Should he get stuck at the hips, try bringing him towards his mothers stomach. If that doesn't work a quarter turn will unlock him a lot of times. I don't know why I'm typing all of this out - everything will probably work out fine! :lol: [/QUOTE]
