[QUOTE="dun, post: 727977, member: 34"] This thread got me to thinking (always dangerous). The calf is carried on the right side and yet C-sections are done from the left side. I wondered a) if the location of a C-section is what confused people as to which side the calf was on, b) why it's done on the left if the calf is on the right. a) I don;t have an answer to but b) I do. Since I was curious myself as to why I asked the vet. His explanation is the rumen/paunch is what holds all the rest of the guts inside while you're pulling the calf and uterus around to get it out. If done from the right side the guts get in the way and spill out. I found it interesting anyway, but everyone else may have already known that. [/QUOTE]
