[QUOTE="Kenz, post: 511349, member: 7973"] I went out to feed last night and saw my 4-H steer had a rectal prolapse. I went over and pulled him up and after a few seconds it went back in. He's probably about 900 lbs. and it was out no more than 1/2 inch. He gets 25 lbs. (split into morning and afternoon) of creep pellets, sweet tex16, and flaked corn. ALso, hay in the morning and bloat/mineral block whenever. What causes it in cattle? What can I do about it? Should I reduce his feed and give him that stuff that makes their stools runny and easier to pass (can't remember what it's called) He's on the light side for our show&sale so i need to push him to make weight What really stinks is that for the past 3 years (and more) one of my 4-H market projects has had one. Last year, one of my pigs died from it. And now my steer...its really frustrating :cry: :cry: :cry2: :cry2: :cry2: Anyhow, any suggestions would be appreciated :) [/QUOTE]
