[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1657054, member: 12607"] What timer said... uterine prolapse is an accident at calving, no more common in any breed than another. so far as I'm aware. There's definitely a genetic predisposition for vaginal prolapse in some lines of Hereford and Shorthorn - and cattle derived from those breeds... though the first one I ever saw in my life was in a hot little black Brahman crossbred - and one of only two that I couldn't get back in... the other in a 3/4Bison-1/4Brahman heifer...neither were as big as a soccerball, but they'd pushed them out of a hole I couldn't stick my index finger through. Spent a lot of time in the early days of my veterinary career replacing and sewing in vaginal/cervical prolapses in Beefmaster cows... some as big as a 5 gallon bucket. Aside from Angus, there were probably more of those old Beefmaster girls in our practice area than anything else at the time... they probably got the bad genes from both sides... the Hereford and Shorthorn in their makeup.
