[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 808833, member: 6198"] We use our vet when we need her. Bull testing, preg testing, both save money in the long run. As well, some births are just plain difficult. in 15 years farming 2 c sections. One was for a twisted utertus. Can't jack a calf out of that. Saved both the cow and the calf. The other was a really big calf. If we had tried to jack it out, the heifer probably would not have bred back again due to damage. When times were tight, we opted to jack out a calf which was badly presented. We could not pull up the head and feet or turn the calf. The long ordeal lost the calf (already dead) and lost the cow because she could not breed back. If we had the vet out to c section the cow would still be producing good calves. Vets are good when you need them, and at some point it will happen. Large animal vets are a premium. The wear and tear on the body is tough. Especially when some farmers do not have adequate restraining systems [/QUOTE]
