[QUOTE="ANAZAZI, post: 1001962, member: 7541"] Prolapse is rare. A cow that prolapse one year does not have to do it again; it is however far more likely that she will, compared to other cows. An obvious example of a cow that should be culled, be it genetic or not. There is no "prolapse gene", but there is likely a set of individual genes that elevate the risk when they are combined. It might be bad luck, but I cull for bad luck, and those that cull cows with bad luck has cows with far better luck than others. As for the daughters; I cull those cows that exhibit problems, and give their daughters a chance to be culled on their own merit. [/QUOTE]
