[QUOTE="dun, post: 806609, member: 34"] Ship the cow when it's time, keep the heifers. This is my particular thoughts on the heritability of prolapse. If a cow prolapses her genes are diluted by half in her daughters. Over the years we've only had 3 prolapses. One was an 800 pound heifer that we pulled a 115 pound charolais calf out of. A couple o hours later she dumped her uterus. Natcherly it was 100 plus, 50 mph winds with blowing sand. Got it back in and she died the next day. The other was a Hereford heifer, on her second calf. Neither of her 2 daughters prolapsed in 5 and 6 years that we had them. They both came up open and left. The other was the first heifer claf that Granny ever had for us. On her 7th calf she prolapsed, but her 2 daughters haven;t yet. So I don;t worry about it till it happens [/QUOTE]
