[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 14295"] If she rebreeds regularly and calves without any more problems, I’d keep her around (assuming she accepts the next calf). You’ve got a lot of vet bills and time invested in her. But it’s important NOT to keep any breeding stock out of her. Calving difficulty and prolapse are heritable, meaning if a cow has a problem with those traits she is likely to pass them on to their daughters and grand daughters. Keeping breeding stock (heifers OR bulls) out of these cows will just prolong the problems in your herd. Believe me, it’s much more fun (and profitable) to have those heifers calve without a vet’s help. Good luck…. [email=frankie@cattle-today.com]frankie@cattle-today.com[/email] [/QUOTE]
