Great information to share with you!

Normal Anterior Presentation of Foetus in the Dam 🐮🐮🐮🐮🐮🐮🐮🐮🐮🐮 Swagx Vet Clinic

Normal anterior presentation in cows is the most common and ideal birth posture (longitudinal, dorsosacral), where the calf enters the birth canal head-first, with its spine up and both front feet (hooves facing down) extended beneath the head. This allows the shoulders and head to pass easily.

Key Features of Normal Anterior Presentation

(1) Position: Dorsosacral (the calf's back is against the cow's spine).

(2) Posture: The head, neck, and both forelimbs are extended into the pelvis, with the nose resting between the knees.

(3) Signs: Two front hooves are visible or felt, with the joints bending downward (in the same direction as the knees).

(4) Progression: As the calf emerges, the shoulders will follow the head, passing through the pelvic inlet, and the calf should be delivered without requiring excessive traction.

Important Considerations

(1) Dystocia Identification: If one or both legs are bent back, or the head is turned, it is an abnormal presentation requiring immediate intervention.

(2) Checkpoints: The rear legs (hocks) bend in the opposite direction of front legs (knees), which is a key distinguishing feature if the presentation is actually a posterior (rear-first) presentation.

(3) Safety: The calving time management guidelines from Washington State University (WSU) emphasize that proper fetal positioning, along with timely assistance for heifers, is key to preventing calving difficulties.

We are excited to share that we will be at the 2026 Reindeer Farmers Association Conference to do a hoof care discussion specific to reindeer and caribou! We will cover topics like structures of the hoof, trim technique, best tools for the job, hoof pathologies and more ... all in an open floor format so you can ask questions along the way. Register now, you don't want to miss this chance to pick the brains of a professional ungulate farrier AND board certified exotic veterinarian who is equally hoof-obsessed 🤓

I survived! I’m home now. I have a fair amount of drainage and blood but nothing that concerns me at this point. Anesthesia was good and post op pain is tolerable at the moment. Thanks for all the well wishes.
