[QUOTE="Kell-inKY, post: 1472639, member: 23511"] Old cow I bought, tried calving yesterday, checked this morning and apparently calf is dead, all I can see is a bit of the placenta, and she has pushed some innards out which goes back in when she stands, calf is stuck inside. No legs to pull on, cow is in bad shape. It's a holiday of course. Do I put her down immediately? Don't think I could wait to make hamburger out of her, don't like seeing her suffer. If I kept calling around I might find a vet willing to come out, maybe. Salebarn price on this old slaughter cow would be right at $500. Guessing vet bill would be high, even if she is treatable? Any advice appreciated, I don't think I have any good options here due to holiday. Thanks [/QUOTE]
