[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1139563, member: 12607"] I'm in dun's camp - if it doesn't come with a gentle tug, and there's enough hanging out to knot it on itself, I'll do it. Often the weight will assist in detachment and removal. The can get pretty dang funky - sometimes you can smell 'em from yards away. But, so long as the cow is eating and seems to be feeling fine, there's not much need to do much. It'll eventually release, or just degenerate. They don't 'absorb/resorb' it - but as the uterus involutes, it'll be discharged. Similarly, cows that abort or lose the conceptus early on, don't re-absorb the fetus - it's just so small that most folks never see it when it's passed. [/QUOTE]
