[QUOTE="Quigly, post: 1252700, member: 21929"] If they developed a uterine prolapse following calving, I would plan on keeping them. It is rare for a uterine prolapse to recur, I think a lot of heifers are unnecessarily culled for this reason. I believe calf size plays a role, they dont have to be huge calves for a prolapse to occur, but it seems like a large percentage of them are heifers with calves that will be in the top half of birth weights. They do have a little harder time breeding back, but have them preg checked and you can sell them at weaning if they are open. The most important factor here is to remove the stitch. A uterine prolapse stitch only needs to be in a couple days, I recommend removing them before going to summer grass or you are going to forget. If you have a cow try to calve with a stitch in, then you will probably wish you had sold her. Vaginal prolpase cows should be sold. They are the gift that keeps on giving for vets. [/QUOTE]
