Little bull calf. Sure hope he makes it. It wasn't real hard. If I had to do it again I would be a bit more careful with the umbilical cord and cut it as in my rush it tore.

You did good Doc!!! If he mothers up it will be a total success story.

Odd time of year to be calving or did the bull just so happen to be in the right place at the time.

I did a tripple C section on a Ewe

get everything ready , have helpers

I shot her passed the single action revolver off to my son and started cutting like I was gutting a deer.

I got the gut out , identified and cut out 2 from one sack , 1 from the other sack.

helpers that can hold legs and take the in my case lambs from you as you get them out and get them cleaned off , have towels 2 more than you think you could need
a couple very sharp knives , you gun with just the round you need to put her down.

we had been giving the Ewe injections to keep her going and we were at the point it wasn't enough , all 3 lambs lived long enough to grow to market weight and go to butcher. It was a success.
weren't keeping that kind of genetics in the herd so they became meat in time.

the Ewe , because we had been giving her injections no one wanted to eat her.


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.
