Abstract

I would like to describe a simple technique for correcting uterine torsions. Each bovine practitioner easily recalls obstetrical cases involving uterine torsions that were a source of satisfaction and other cases that were not so satisfying. Dr. Herriott in "All Creatures Great and Small" described the traditional rolling technique on a Jersey cow belonging to his future father-in-law. His success was so satisfying that he felt comfortable asking the man ifhe could marry his daughter.
