[QUOTE="greatgerts, post: 1390401, member: 181"] I am going to maybe be the harsh one, but I would go ahead and ship the cow as soon as the withdrawal times are past. The last 2 prolapses I had have not been a good experience. One, the vet said she was at least a month out. Kept her in to get condition back on her, and that weekend (3 days after he came out) I get a call asking if I had cut the string on the cow. I had not. She was a 9 or 10 year old, and had calved enough times that she just pushed that calf out. I was not home, so we made the call to the vet because I just KNEW that it was going to be bad, and it was. The other, we did induce. I stayed up all night to help the heifer, and ended up pulling the calf. That was a Friday night. She seemed ok on Saturday, but late that night, she must have done some pushing, because we found her the next morning with a uterine prolapse, dead. I'm not against it, as it has worked in others, but I think you'd be money ahead to go ahead and ship her. [/QUOTE]
