[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1657308, member: 24816"] That's a bad situation, but it happens. I've only had one over the years that had to be taken out in pieces, and hope never to again. A few years ago, had a cow that got abnormally big thought she may have a huge set of twins in her. Turns out it was a rare condition causing excessive amniotic fluid. The calf had to be taken by C section. The vet said the calf was full of fluid and weighed better than 200 lbs. The placenta was nearly as large and textured like a rubber ball. The calf was DOA and the cow died by the next morning. [/QUOTE]
