had a cow having a calf, well she was having twins at the same time, had four legs and two heads sticking out the back end, thought I was in for a heck of a night with that but after I got the cow convinced to get up I was able to push one back in between her pushes and then they came out like a breeze! One at a time that is! LOL All are doing well.
 
I recall times like that. What words of motivation did you use to bring the mother around to your way of thinking? For as frustrating as they can be they do leave you with a true sense of accomplishment and pride when it's all done. Hope the brooding mother and kids are doing well.
 
Had to look this one up Learned something new early in the day now need to get rid of 14" snow last night.

What is a free Martin calf?
Freemartinism is recognized as one of the most severe forms of s*x al abnormality among cattle. This condition causes infertility in the female cattle born twin to a male. When a heifer twin shares the uterus with a bull fetus, they also share the placental membranes connecting the fetuses with the dam.
 
Free martin cattle were traditionally butchered for a feast on saint martins day therefore free food on saint martins day. I always wanted to know the orgin of that word because it never made sense til i found this out.
