[QUOTE="Buck Randall, post: 1658941, member: 38590"] You're in a tough spot. Without the stitch they usually come right back out. Watching her and hoping to cut the stitch out when she starts to calve is a best case scenario. Depending on what you used for suture and how you put it in, there's also a good chance that she just pushes the calf right through it. She'll be a torn up mess, but they usually heal eventually. I'd recommend having your vet look at her. That way you can know for sure that she's pregnant and you're not just hanging on to a cull cow longer than you need to. If she's far enough along, they can give shots to induce calving so you'll at least have a window where you can expect it. [/QUOTE]
