If the calf has not been born and the cow is having problems, find the feet and locate the head (sometimes the calf is not positioned properly), once you have found the feet tie some baler twine or other soft rope ( you will want a long piece of string fold it in half so one end has a "loop" put the rope under the calf, take the end with no "loop" and put it through the loop and that will be your "tied rope"). Place it behind the dewclaws, and pull but ONLY when the cow pushes (if she is standing while you pull push downwards). This should only take a couple of good pulls.

Once the calf is born, be sure it is breathing, clear is nostrils (just move your hand down its mussel slightly pushing so the muchus is taken away by your hand). If it is not breathing you will need to do CPR, put the calf on its side so that the left side is facing you, close one nostril and try to seal your mouth to the open nostril and blow air, then pump three times on the heart. Repeat until the calf breaths.

I hope that this helps!

Why are calves so large when they are born?

Selection for calves that are growthier and have larger weaning weights tends to correlate birth weights. Breeds that are known to have such calves, like Charolais and Simmentals, will often have big calves. Also, feed that is high in nutritional value given to cows close to calving will also result in large calves. Large calves also tend to come about during during winter than in the summer. Thus it's all down to genetics and breed, as well as feed and environment that determines size of calves when they're born.
