      I'm sorry, love and compassion? That heifer is still a baby herself. Far too young to be bred but she has to start earning her keep right? All she is, is a commodity. No love OR compassion there, as far as I can see.

    Wow, this vid should be a tutorial on Animal Husbandry 101, 201 and 301. It was PACKED with problems, recognition, decision making, etc...all kinds of curveballs thrown at you......and frankly, you made a homerun derby out of it. Hope it all turned out well, but even if it didnt, some things are what they are. The fact that calf and momma were both alive is the result of your efforts. There is no question about that. Just seeing this one video cancels out all the millennial youtube “homesteaders” who keep their vet on speed dial for when their chicken doesnt lay the exact same number of eggs every day. So so refreshing to see real content and not stupid, over-hyped, over-dramatized nonsense from people who clearly have no clue of anything they think they are doing. Awesome video, in all aspects.

      I would have gotten her up faster…
      And you are correct on avoiding her by turning shoulder!!!
      Another thing is you could have gone to get a bottle of colostrum from premix to get the calf some calories into his belly and give mamma a break so her body can begin to repair itself after that trauma of breach birth.

    Pulled calves twice, (lucky I guess?) once using a fence stretcher because 2 people couldn't extract the calf. The chain messed up that calf's front ankles for about 3 weeks. Hand milking and bottle fed for 2 weeks. Really intense times for a farmer until nursing gets back to normal. You show how much you care about your critters. Well done!

    Always a concern when you don't see two hooves down with a nose. Mom was clearly exhausted and all that a prolonged labor entails. I've dealt with your same issues of intervention, never easy to walk away and observe. Having a full time job and being a full time farmer/rancher will always throw you into these situations. Your video was a great representation for those who have never been in your shoes, it really defines the shoulda, kuda, wooda thoughts that these situations cause.

    Hope that baby get's up soon. It's great he was still alive! We had to pull a 101 lb calf out of a heifer this year and that was a doozy. Mama had some nerve damage for a couple days and although she was determined and kept trying she couldn't actually stand until about 24 hrs or so later. Her legs just wouldn't cooperate with her. We had to bottle feed two feedings but once she finally stood, my husband had her lean on him so baby could nurse without getting crushed. She's one determined mama and is doing well along with her baby who we appropriately named Tiny. We love your channel by the way. Especially my youngest.

Sometimes however not.......I will be anxious to see how it does next time you post. Hopefully it will all be good. It has to be a heart breaker to have a live animal with all the possibilities to go forward to fail. Hoping the calf can nurse and get some first nursing in to get all the nourishment and so on that it needs after first born.
    That had to be difficult to film but you are cool as a cucumber and handled it just right. Awesome video.....hope the little duffer makes it ok and all is well.
