[QUOTE="regolith, post: 1196173, member: 9267"] A great many. You haven't heard enough horror stories of peritonitis, ripped uteri, prolapsed uteri, metritis as well as acute inflammation (I'd consider anything that reduces fertility a serious risk for the mother), rotting twins left behind, and of course, good old calving paralysis that can give you a downer for up to a week - or a broken leg in slippery conditions. My first concerns are calving paralysis and/or dead calf. But I've seen or heard of most of the others. If a vet rips a cow's uterus I reckon the whole of New Zealand will know that it happened and which vet did it by the next morning - I know of two such incidences on neighbouring farms. [/QUOTE]
