[QUOTE="uplandnut, post: 1793843, member: 24555"] I was involved in the first c-section I have ever seen this morning. While helping the neighbors on there dairy farm the owner checked a cow that didn't seem right and called the vet. Vet tried for quite a while to get the head up but couldn't quite get it, even using a torsion tool. So the decision was made to do the c-section. After watching the procedure it sure seems like a very straightforward process. By no means am I saying I would want to do one by choice. After seeing that I would assume the most common cause for a cow to go down is bleeding after they are closed up. It was amazing to see how fast the uterus started to shrink after getting the calf out. Crazy how much the uterus stretches with the calf inside. Definitely have to be fast at stitching. [/QUOTE]
