[QUOTE="iwannaknow53, post: 1394364, member: 24713"] I have had a rude awakening this weekend. Found one of my F1's with a uterine and vaginal prolapse (according to the vet). She was heavy bred and this would have been her third calf. Had her sewed up at the vet and was advised to cull her so she's gone. While loading her up (she was a gentle one) I decided to sell an open cow. One of my high spirited Brahmer influenced gals got in with her and got aggitated. She tried to jump the coral gate while i was letting her out and busted her chest on the gate. She too is heavy bred. This evening she didn't come up when I fed the girls so I went looking for her. She also has a prolapse! Could the trauma have caused the prolapse? I'm thinking so (but I am doubting all of my moves now) but I can't figure out the first one and now I have two. Vet said I need to look at my mineral program. I feed them (31 girls and a good herford bull) 20% fortified cubes every other day, they have QLX on demand, free minerals in two different covered troughs, a molasis based mineral lick tub and and a protein tub fortified with minerals too. I hav'nt hayed them for two years, but have plenty of rye grass and high left over forage on 170 acres. They are not fat/overwieght, just slick body condition 3+ Poo pies look just like summer pies as well. Are the prolapses just coinsidence/ bad luck or a cause on my part (nutritionally) [/QUOTE]
