The document describes various fetal presentations and postures that may occur during the second trimester of pregnancy in cattle. It provides descriptions of normal anterior and posterior longitudinal presentations as well as both normal and abnormal variations in fetal posture, including carpal, elbow, shoulder, and hip flexions and deviations of the head. It also covers breech presentations and transverse, twin, and unusual presentations like foot-nape. The document is intended as a study guide for veterinary students to learn to identify different fetal presentations and postures that may be observed during a bovine pregnancy exam.
