[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1401144, member: 9096"] Any chance you can get her into some shelter for a while? Have you tried hip lifters on her? As a personal feeling, I'd like them to be within a month of calving, your odds only get better as you get closer. However, could you just induce labor instead of a C section? A little dex ought to do it, not nearly as costly if you're just looking to get the calf out... who knows, maybe she'd even get up after that... I can't remember for sure, but dex I think has a very short withdrawal time, could probably salvage the meat from the cow even. [/QUOTE]
