[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 561595, member: 852"] I believe Ryan knows how. If not Ryan, it's one of the longhorn breeders that has the know-how and skill to do a c-section. If I didn't know how to close the cow up (keeping in mind you have to stitch not only the incision in the hide, but also the uterus) I wouldn't dare open her up. What if you can't get in touch with a vet? or they can't come out? I learned recently -through experience- that it's a lot easier to cut a cow open than to sew her up. :P Note also that there are certain drugs you'd need on hand if you were doing a c-section on a live animal, and vets don't make a practice of routinely handing those out to us commoners. My vet did tell me once that he's occasionally had people call for help sewing something up after they'd tried and failed. Personally, if I have to have the vet sew the cow up I'd rather that he also cut the cow open too, that way everything is done [u][i]right[/i][/u]. [/QUOTE]
