[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 518525, member: 6897"] I don't think manually cleaning out a cow with a RP is antiquated thinking at all. I'll continue to do it whenever necessary. Sure not gonna let one "drag one off" 8 days after calving. I'm sure a lot of people do it this way tho. Down here in this heat it would have magots in it by then. Just seen too many cows in poorly run operations literally drop dead from uterine infections or lose 300 lbs. of weight and milk go to nothing. Cattle with uterine infections DO NOT breed back as long as there is an infection.I'm surprised the vet recommended Vitamin A rather than E....Vitamin D deficiency should be rare as cattle synthesize Vitamin D via the skin from sunlight.
