We had a cow have a virginal prolapse this morning
The vet sewed her up and said for us to induce labor when we saw the cow getting close to calving. This cow is not due until late March. She was pasture exposed and I believe I observed her bred on June 21st. I am afraid of not cutting the stitches in time and having a big mess, but on the other hand I don't want to cut them to early and induce labor if she is not ready. What are some key signs I need to observe before inducing labor or cutting stitches? We are going to let her have this calf and then send her down the road.
