Breech birth is when the calf's buttocks is coming first instead of the front legs and the head. In this situation, the cow cannot push out the calf by herself because the position of the calf at this point makes it impossible for the calf to pass through the birth canal without manipulation.
You need to go into the uterus to get the calf positioned enough so that he can come out backwards. Push the calf in as far as you can (this is easier said than done, since the cow will be pushing against you), then reach down and find a hind leg. Once you have, flex the hock enough that you can bring the leg up to the roof of the uterus. Then, when you've found the foot, cup the foot in your hand and bring it up over the pelvic rim into the cow's vagina. Repeat with the other leg. Now get some calving chains (obstetrical chains) or rope (or baler twine, though some types of twine are less suitable than others), and put a half-hitch knot just above the fetlock and another just below the hocks. Repeat with the other leg. Next, you will have to pull hard (out and down toward the cow's hocks) and work quickly, trying to pull with the cow's contractions but also working when she's not pushing. You need to do this because the calf needs air and quickly. Once the calf is out, clear the airways and get the calf breathing.
If the cow is having too many problems and you don't feel comfortable helping her call the vet and try to keep her calm.
The act of giving birth to cattle is called calving.
Miniature cattle of various breeds have the lightest birthweight calves.
Calving, or giving birth.
A cow is typically considered to be a cow once it has reached maturity and given birth to a calf. In terms of age, this usually happens around 2-3 years old for female cattle.
Average for a Jersey is around 40 to 50 lbs. Jerseys are small cattle, and small cattle tend to give birth to small calves.

This is called "breech position." Breech position is when the baby's head is near the top of the uterus and the legs are near the cervix. Most breech babies are born by the way of c-section.
