[QUOTE="bigbluegrass, post: 1389780, member: 15537"] Any idea what a surgery like that costs? I know it will vary. I will probably call the vet next week and see what he thinks. This cow doesn't owe me anything, she has definitely paid for herself. She raised some good calves that sold well. But at the same time she already has several strikes on her record. Three years ago she came up open for spring calving. She is supposed to be a spring calving cow. I was stocked low and she was a nice looking 5 year old who raises a decent calf each year to that time. She usually is easy to breed. I gave her a chance at fall calving. Should of sold her then since cattle were up. She has a 3 month old calf on her now. I just don't know that $100 vet bill + whatever a surgery costs will pencil out over another calf or two. Now if she went on to live to 25, it would be well worth it. I know she would make some good burger. We did that to an 8 year old cow two years ago and it was great. If we burger her, I will have a better idea of what the problem was. The butcher is going to turn her inside out. We just can't put her back together after that! [/QUOTE]
