Buffalo Vet Calves a Daring Caesarean Rescue
On a hot July afternoon in Menomonie a dairy farmer and Lions Club volunteers faced a buffalo calving emergency. A 3-year-old American bison cow in the park needed a cesarean to save the fetus and herself after a breech birth. A veterinarian and two helpers performed the delicate operation in a pen, noting buffalo anatomy closely resembles cattle with key differences in the uterus.

A buffalo cow in a game park needed urgent surgery after a dangerous birth. Gary and Melanie Peterson assisted in the cramped pen as Dr. Hintz and staff completed the operation. The park notes buffalo are hardy, with past emergencies including pneumonia and worming, and typically four to six animals are kept. The last bull calf sold at $250.
