Calving handbook available
Calf losses in heifers are
often high and most of these
deaths are a result of dystocia
(calving difficulty) problems,
according to an Oregon State
University Extension Service
publication^ “How to Handle
Calving Difficulties.”
The publication states that
many of these calf losses can be
prevented if the heifers are
closely w atched and the
dystocia problems are detected
and corrected early.
The E xtension circu lar
d e s c rib e s so m e r o u tin e
techniques that can help reduce
calf losses. It also recommends
that any serious and compli
cated problems be handled by a
veterinarian.
“How to Handle Calving
Difficulties” explains how to
recognize normal calving, the
dangers of interfering during
birth of a calf and when and
how to examine the cow.
Also included are sections on
how to prepare before helping
with kthe calf birth and forced
extraction of a calf.
The publication stresses that
it is important to know, with
complete confidence, how long
to leave the cow during calf-
birth and when to seek help.
“How to Handle Calving
D ifficulties,” EC 1074, is
available free at the Warm
Springs Extension office.

Handling
Family
Anger
Lifelines—
com m unications and inter
action.
Handling a child’s anger is
often a hard experience for a
parent. Most parents were not
taught much about handling
a n g e r d u rin g th e ir ow n
childhood. Extension Human
D e v e lo p m e n t S p e c i a l i s t
Marcelle Straatman says to
help children deal with their
angry feelings. The first step is
to accept anger as a normal
emotion.
“Usually angry outbursts are
not signs of serious problems.
In fact, anger may be a defense
to avoid painful feelings such as
a sense of failure. The best way
to respond to angry outbursts is
to find out what triggered it and
to accept the feeling. Parents
can help children handle anger.
It might be as simple as holding
the child to show that you
understand.
In dealing with an angry
child, the parents action would
be to protect and teach, not to
punish.”
If you think about it, families
are the basis our world is built
on. People make families,
families make communities,
com m unities make states,
states make countries and
countries make our world.
It only follows that the
e x p e rie n c e s le a rn e d by
members within a family help
build the type of world we live
in. Each and everyone of us, no
matter how small and helpless
we feel, can help the chain
along in a positive direction
through good family communi
cations and understanding
between family members.
