[QUOTE="RanchManager, post: 609150, member: 8827"] Cesarian or prolapsed animal; ship her. I don't wast time with second chances in these matters. I don't waste any time worrying about it being the right choice; it is. Could be the bull that was used, could be she had a small pelvis. Regardless once the uterus has been compromised with a cesarian it's down the road she goes. Besides the insult to the uterus, there is a high likelyhood that the pelvis is just plain small and I don't want to keepthose genes around. Cesarian risks can be minimized by using low birthweight bulls but you can still wind up with a heifer with a small pelvis area that has trouble if you don't watch your breeding (nature used to weed this out of the gene pool herself). One thing to keep in mind is consistently using low birthweight bulls on your heifers and then keeping the heifer calves from those heifers will contribute to females with a smaller pelvis area.
