Prolapsed uterus: This can be one of the dirtiest jobs imaginable. Usually the vet needs to give the cow a spinal while he tries to shove that whole uterus back in and still it can be a struggle.
An old boy told me a simple way to do it. Hook a chain on each back foot of the cow. Hoist her up a bit with front end loader of tractor...not up in the air...just enough so her hind end is off the ground. She won't be straining and gravity makes it a real snap for the uterus to fall back into body cavity. Then sew her up with the purse string loop method. Works great.
