[QUOTE="skyline, post: 382188, member: 5305"] Rough day. Last night I found one of my cows with a vaginal prolapse about the size of a baseball. First one for me. Had checked on the herd 24 hours before and she was fine. Found a vet this morning, who came out at 3 pm today. The prolapse was by that time hard and almost the size of a volleyball. Took 3 hours and a lot of work, but we got her put back together and sewn up. The vet says this is genetic. I'm thinking I should sell her as soon as she heals up (at the auction barn for slaughter). Really don't want to go through this ordeal again. I'm down $250 and a lot of lost sleep over this deal. This may be a no-brainer, but Dun, Bez, Caustic, Backhoe, et. al. - do you agree with my sell decision? I guess my question is are prolapsed cows more likely to do it again? BTW, for all the newbies (include me as a newbie) out there that think they can run cattle a long way from the house and just check them occasionally, this is a good example of why you need to look at your cows fairly often.
