[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 8393"] If these were full uterine prolapses there really is no need to cull the cows. A uterine prolapse is NOT inheritable, a vaginal prolapse is though.Jennifer hit the nail right on the head with the bull though. Were these large calves? A prolonged labour will also increase the likelihood of uterine prolapse as well as a hard pull. We had a heifer prolapse this year. She has since go on to rebreed albeit a little late. My vets opinion as well as the university say go ahead and rebreed, it's no reason to cull. You need to watch cows after delivery, get them up and keep them up for at least 3 hours.
