[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1657088, member: 24816"] Was at a local cattleman’s dinner/meeting a few years ago, speaker was an area vet that we use. The topic was calving. He said that uterine prolapse is not hereditary and if put back successfully not likely to happen again. Vaginal prolapse is hereditary and recommended to cull. From my experience,Herefords have had that stereotype for being prone to prolapse. I used to have registered Charolais and a few of those would prolapse and it was the same line of cows. They were said to have been bred up from Herefords. In more recent times I have had 3 cows to vaginal prolapse, two were some version of Hereford x Brahman, that were bought as heifers and had had 3 or 4 calves before doing that. The other cow was an older Hereford cow I bought through the stockyards as a bred. She had that calf ok without incident then the following winter prolapsed a couple months before calving again.
