"I would say she was in labor well over an hour. We got her in the trap at the house (about a 50 acre pasture) several days before, so we could watch her better. She came into the yard, which is highly unusual for a bucking cow who's always been in the back pastures. Anyway, we knew she was hunting a private place to calve. About that time, a storm was brewing so we opened the barn gate and she went right in a stall. It took longer than normal, but she was nervous. Also, it's best not to pull one if you can avoid it. The pulled calves never seem to do as well. If the labor had gone on much longer we would have had to pull. Just glad it worked out so well and glad she didn't calve outside in the middle of a storm."
