First, you have to get her in a head-gate, if she's a bit nervous of you poking around her rear. Then reach inside the birth canal to see if the calf's coming normally. If it's not, you will have to correct the calf yourself or phone the vet to come out and help you. Get the calving chains or calf puller on the calf and start pulling. Pull out and down, and pull when the cow strains. Once the calf is out, get it breathing by clearing the air-way and tickling its nose or ear with a clean piece of straw. Once and if the calf starts breathing and shaking its head, move it to a small pen where you can let the cow in with her new calf. Keep them there for a couple hours or until the calf has been up and suckling at his mother's udder.

If you cannot pull the calf out without causing injury to the cow or calf, get the vet out to do a C-section on the cow.

No. A Hereford cow will only give birth to a Hereford-Limousin cross calf if bred to a Limousin bull. Only a Limousin cow can give birth to a Limousin calf--IF she's bred to a Limousin bull. Just like a Hereford cow can only give birth to a Hereford calf if bred to a Hereford bull.
