[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 738395, member: 5106"] The problem with a uterine prolapse is that alot of time the uterus is just amputated, therefore the cow is done. I am assuming this was most likely the case or the calf died and they wrote the cow off. we had a uterine prolapse last year on Valentines day evening. Hubby got it back in and the horns reattached, she raised her calf and an orphan, more than likely most will need a vet out though and most vets give the cow 15 minutes to reattach or they amputate or band the uterus. I really would not suggest ever buying a prolapsed uterus cow unless you had her vet check and the vet concurred that all was well and the cow was cycling. I would not hesitate to try and rebreed and calve out my own uterine prolapse cow, but I would never sell one unless she was heavy bred and I fully exposed her history to the buyer. Which is what I do anyways , all buyers of any animals get full health records and history unless the cow is meant to go straight to slaughter and then I just follow withdrawl protocols. As was said earlier, a uterine prolapse is due to circumstance, like ours . She calved on her own ,cleaned and nursed her calf but laid down in a bad position where she had to strain to get back up, the straining and the fragility of her having just calved caused her to prolapse.
