[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 606372, member: 9096"] we have had many cows with vaginal prolapses, and 2 with a uterine prolapse, both the uterine prolapses were caused by hard births, but the vaginal prolapses are most definitely a hereditary weakness, we had to cull 2 lines of cows because of it, and a third we took our chances on and were picky, they were such awesome animals in other ways, and it seems they are in the clear now... As for things you can do to help prevent it, well, level ground for them, especially near calving, they always like to have their head uphill, which puts a lot of pressure on the behind, and I wish we could find an effective way to make them move a little more, our cattle walk about 300 yards a day, and we think they should walk a bit more, they're fat as heck. As for purse stings on them, I've heard of people putting hot water bottles (the rubber ones) in them and that helped, but we've never tried it My advice is the same as what I see most others saying... put wheels under them this fall or clear some freezer space, the problem doesn't go away, it just gets worse [/QUOTE]
