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!
