Checking on a heifer having calving problems (part 2)

I named him Lucky!

Just for reference, my first video riding out to check her was taken around 7 (who knows how long she’d be in labor for). And Lucky wasn’t born till after 11!

He was super lucky indeed, but he has a very good mama and is still doing good. The thumbnail picture was taken of them the next morning.

I just wanted to keep them in there close to my trailer so I could keep an eye on em for a while. I had both my arms in his mama moving his back feet around as carefully as I could, but I coulda cut her with his hoofs or tore something, so better safe than sorry.

Maybe someday I’ll do a video explaining beech position and some of the other calving difficulties / what to do about em.
