[QUOTE="cowgirl8, post: 1275648, member: 22072"] The heifer was 15 months old and our biggest birth weight bull bred her.. I totally agree as to reasons not to keep one, in the past c section females got culled when told to cull. I always ask my vet, he usually says sell. This mentioned heifer was a really nice heifer, wasnt her fault she was fertile at 4 months..Bred back, which says a lot about her and calved just fine. This is why i said, ask the vet who preformed the surgery. They will know the inside and outside of that animal, literately..lol. The way i wrote the above, her c section calf died, the calf she had this year is doing well. Like i said, i cant pick her out of the herd. My vet charges around 200 for a c section. If you save the cow, yes, if you save the cow and calf yes it is worth it. Even if it cost up to 500...if they need one what else would you do? As far as the care afterwards, you just chunk them back in the pasture. I'd say maybe 10% of the time you may have to get them up for something....but on the most part, they just heal on their own [/QUOTE]
