[QUOTE="cowgirl8, post: 1118070, member: 22072"] Yall guys seem to have a lot of prolapse problems. Other than the 2 full prolapses we've had in 35ish years due to a large calf with a hard birth, the vaginal prolapse is almost nonexistent on our ranch(We've had 2 stitched up back when we were breeding to sim bulls). Could it be that some are more interested in getting the biggest calf their cow can handle? This is something to think about. I've been told by several that i could increase our birth weights with this breed, heifers should be able to handle this big of calf. They can, but is it the best thing for the cow? Isnt weaning weights the most important thing and not how big the calf is at birth? My cow sense works on %. If i have 300 cows and once in 10 years i get a prolapse that needs vet attention, that's pretty low % of prolapse. But, if you have a herd of 20 and get a prolapse, you need to look at your averages. [/QUOTE]
