I've got some stragglers that haven't calved yet. Got back to planting a little bit of corn today close to home,knew I only had to fill up two or three times,so I left the fertilizer wagon here in the yard. I was coming back to the house to fill up and an old Hereford had a pair of feet hanging out of her. I could tell by the way the ankles were bent it was coming right so I filled the planter before I went to tag and vaccinate it. Got out there and she was licking it off,but there was another full water bag hanging out of her. Oh-oh. I walked around behind her while she was distracted and saw a foot,but it didn't look right. Took ahold of it and sure enough,upside down. OH-OH! I waited til the water bag broke and she got distracted eating what hit the ground. I slipped the chain over the feet,hooked the handle and gave one good pull. She hunched up,gave one grunt and push and a live calf hit the ground. Given what happened a month and a half ago when I tagged a second twin too soon and the cow abandoned it,I figured I'd better leave until she had bonded with both of them.
When I got done planting,they were both on their feet,both trying to suck and she seemed to be taking them both. First bit of good luck I've had with calving all year!

It is sometimes used so well you can't tell its there and other times used as a sloppy quick fix.
