The results of 77 caesarean sections in cattle carried out in a 7-person practice over a period of 16 months are described and evaluated. The standardization of the surgical technique, the speed of decision making in dealing with dystocia, and the education of the farmers contributed to the 84% calf survival rate, and post surgical complications were few. There was only one fatality in a dam.
