[QUOTE="Double R Ranch, post: 820806, member: 411"] I agree completely Dun. Our vet refuses to come out til she's in actual labor. The teaching school will be our only bet (which its a ways away) if I get to feeling she can't have it naturally. We did that part way out thing before. Didn't end well. Were still within range to have her deliver naturally but not for much longer. Ive palpated her and she is very wide and tall inside. For those who have done (or had done) C-sections, what has been the outcomes for the cows? Do they still successfully reproduce? Can you use them for embryo's (there lies the whats causeing this ?) Will they have to have c-sections from now on? Tell me more. We've never had a successful one done and we've had a few attempted. At this point im almost willing to try with my horse vet. The bull is a very well known bull that has been uses on heifers for several years now with no problems. Select sires sells him as a heifer bull. However, the ? still lies as to what is causing all this........ Gave the 2cc's. It wasn't clear how long that would take to do anything. Was able to get a hold of 20cc's more if needed. Already have Lute. What are the affects on the calf if done this way?? Has all went normal and well for you doing this? Thanks all for the advice or "what I would do". Will keep checking for more input. Double R [/QUOTE]
