Bilateral ovariectomy was performed in 45 beef cows through a left paralumbar fossa laparotomy. Umbilical cord clamps were used to ligate the ovarian pedicle and were found to provide reliable hemostasis. Examination of the uterus by palpation per rectum 10 to 33 days after surgery revealed that the procedure resulted in minimal formation of adhesions, and, in all but 1 cow, the uterine horns were freely movable.
