Card of Thanks
I want to send a huge "Thank you" to relatives and
friends for prayers, cards, calls and visits during my recent
40+ days in the hospital. The Good LOrd has allowed me
to hang around for a while longer!
My family has really gone above and beyond for me
nd I can't sing their praises enough! It's been a rough
ride, but with continued prayers and help, we'll make it!
Visitors are welcome, I've missed everyone.
Love to all.

Thank You
On Saturday, Jan. 24, 2015, I had the honor of being
inducted into the Oklahoma Baseball Coaches Association
Hall of Fame. I want to say thank you to the administration
and school board of Perklns-Tryon Schools for giving me
the opportunity and for their support for all those years.
. To all players on the teams whom I had the honor to
ach, I want to make sure that all of you know this honor
just as much about you as it is about me. Without all of
,gur time, hard work, dedication and success, this honor
tver would have happened.
":1 have so many good memories and good stories of the
time I spent as the baseball coach here and they will be
with me forever. I just want to say Thank You.

eace of assisting a cow or
a
lifer deliver a calf that
as coming backwards.
Understanding the phys-
logy and of
anatomy
te calf and mother will
iprove the likelihood of
successful outcome.
.. As the calf's hips are
ulled through the pelvic
Opening, the baby calf's
tail will reach the outer
eas of the mother's
@ginal opening. Once a
person can see the baby
calf's tailhead, the umbil-
ical vessels are being com-
pressed against the rim of
the mother's pelvic bone.
The blood flow, exchang-
ing oxygen and carbon
dioxide, between calf and
mother is greatly impaired,
if not completely clamped
Off.
Research, many years
ago, conducted in Europe
illustrates how little time
LIVESTOCK
it takes to compromise
the calf's survivability
when the umbilical cord
is clamped. These scien-
tists studied the impact
of clamping the umbilical
cord for 0, 4, 6, or 8 min-
utes.
Certainly, if a producer
does not feel confident in
their abilities to deliver the
backward calf, call your
veterinarian immediately.
Time is of the essence. As
producers examine heifers
or cows at calving and find
a situation where the calf
is coming backward, they
need to keep this European
data in mind. If the calf's
hips are not yet through
the pelvic opening, they
have a little time to locate
help and have someone
else to aid in the assistance
process.
Once the cow and the
producer in concert have
pushed and pulled the

calf's hips through the
pelvic opening and the
tailhead is apparent, the
calf needs to be completely
delivered as quickly as
possible. The remainder
of the delivery should go
with less resistance as the
hips are usually the tough-
est part to get through
the pelvic opening. The
shoulders may provide
some resistance. How-
ever, some calf rotation
and traction being applied
as the cow strains will
usually produce significant
progress. Remember, the
completion of the delivery
is to be accomplished in
about 4 minutes or less.
The calf's head and nos-
trils are in the uterine fluids
and cannot breathe until
completely delivered. The
calf must get oxygen rap-
idly to offset the hypoxia
that it is been subjected to
during the delivery• After
the calf is delivered, clean
the mouth and nostrils of
fluids and tickle it's nos-
trils with a straw to cause
snorting and inhalation
of air to get it started to
breathing.
