[QUOTE="lithuanian farmer, post: 1656709, member: 19683"] Have seen prolapsed uterus almost once a year here. Almost all the time it's when the cow has a hard calving. Maybe just one time cow has prolapsed while calving an average size calf and she somehow managed to rupture her bladder while calving, so placing uterus back only kept her alive for three days. Most of the time the prolapse happened to 1st or 2nd calf cows with too big calves for them and, I mean, way too big, like 145.5lbs for 1350lbs second calver, or 110lbs calf for hardly 1200lbs heifer. Never have any of them repeat the prolapse again. Never seen any breed predisposition or noticed some repeat prolapses in the family lines. The main and probably only reason what causes an uterine prolapse in our herd is too big calves for some cows causing prolonged and hard calving. The last prolapse we had was two years ago. Trying to work with reducing prolapse numbers even more. [/QUOTE]
