[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1338154, member: 9096"] I've never had problems particular to old cows... How old was this cow? If the smell was that bad, I'd also bet the calf was dead for some time.. The smell of a healthy calf comes off easy.. the smell of retained placenta after 3 or 4 days of cooking is stomach turning, and will stick like heck.. though I've dealt with them enough I've got some tolerance to it now. I am pretty quick to give them a hand if I see progress is slow or halted... If nothing else it give me peace of mind and I don't second guess myself for a month after... Most of the time just a little bit of holding/pulling even without twine/chains will dramatically speed things up [/QUOTE]
