[QUOTE="Alan, post: 1401143, member: 378"] I have a late bred cow, no doubt 3 to 6 weeks from calving, good cow and not too old. A few weeks after a freezing rain and she was on a hill I found her down and feet up, I turned her over and she was up in about a half hour. But in the the next few weeks I could tell she had hurt herself, hip I think. She went down again 3 days ago in the snow and I can't get her up, she eats and drinks fine...... my question is, she is 3 to 6 weeks out from calving, how early can I do a c- section and have a " great" chance of saving the calf? I say great because I don't want to do the surgery and have a maybe it will live. Cow is done, just wanting to try to save the calf....harsh I know, but hoping to get something out of this this late in the game, too bad she's a producer and only about five years old. She's a loss and if I do a c-section and get a dead calf more money lost. Just looking for advice and input, sorry I'm a hobby guy, but I'm not wanting throw money after bad..... Thanks, alan [/QUOTE]
