[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 462330, member: 6198"] an on farm c section can be difficult at best. There is so much that can happen from cross contamination. It's not the cleanest enviroments. Add to that a smelly, dead calf, major bateria to contaminate the insides of a cow if not gotten all out...kind of like a stinky retained placenta!! Add to that the cow was "ferbile" from what i gather on the internet when googled, distressed, fevred, and something about convulsions...so not sure what ferbile meant here but can't be good. All the odds were stacked against this cow surviving an expensive procedure, with little or no return. 50/50 breed back or the cost of feed and drugs to get it ready for ship and slaughter. Chances are the cost would have out weighed the gain netting a loss. Some times we have to weigh the good, the bad, and the ugly, and then the real ugly. And sometimes the ugly really sucks. [/QUOTE]
