There was an oldtimer out here that did the same thing, and I have had it filed in the back of my mind for many years. I haven't tried it because I have been fortunate enough to have been mentored in the art of c-sections by my father. Having said that, I did have to shoot one cow this spring when things went wrong. After opening her side up I was unable to gain purchase on the calf and wrest it into position for delivery. Everything was so tight in there it was all I could do to get my arm between the gut and the cows ribs, and then I could only feel the back of the calf and no legs. And only with my finger tips. Fatigue and resignation set in and I exercised the only option I had left. A pretty sickening series of events in my opinion, but I guess that's ranching. Dad tells me you can't lose them if you don't have them.
