It'll go a lot quicker if you get in there and pull the calf out as fast as possible. Backwards calves, in most cases if you see it happening, should be pulled ASAP. Don't wait for the cow to do it, because it the calf has no space to breath if the cow decides to stop pushing and take a rest. You MUST get that calf out immediately so it can live and breath, otherwise you will end up with a stillborn calf on your hands.

A calf must be up and suckling no more than 2 hours after birth. The sooner the calf stands up after birth, the better.
What is oblique breech?
An oblique breech presentation occurs when a fetus is positioned in the womb with its buttocks or feet downward but is oriented at an angle, rather than head-down or directly breech.

Healthcare providers often monitor oblique breech presentations closely, and depending on the situation, may recommend a cesarean delivery if the fetus does not reposition naturally before labor.
