Edit didn't do so good. The first picture was taken this morning. 3 months old yesterday. Second picture was taken the next morning after he was delivered the evening before. Third picture is at the Vets. He was a full breech and 14 days late. Hefty boy at 96 lbs. He was able to stand when we got home about a 45 mile trip. But not steady enough to try and get him to suck the cow. We milked a bottle and fed him. Third picture taken the next morning is of him nursing on his with the cow in the chute. He had a rough start, but has never looked back on it.

Glad he made it. Doesn't look like he's any worse for wear.

Yes he did. He is the third calve out of the same bull. Other two were heifers that were in the 75 and 80 lb range.

Did the vet straighten him out or did it take the side exit?
Looks like a heck of a calf.

There is a knack to it though, combined with some brute strength lol |

There is a knack to it though, combined with some brute strength lol I can get a head turned around front legs out. But a dang breech i just have one heck of a time getting. I would rather pay the vet. I know how Just can't get all my parts and the calfs parts to cooperate. |
