Abstract

In the typical bovine practice, the overdue calf delivery occurs all too often, with the calf having been dead from a few minutes to a few weeks when presented for delivery.

Since we are dealing with a salvage situation, the welfare of the heifer or cow and cost to the owner are of primary consideration.
