Uterine prolapse as a heifer = loaded in a trailer headed to sale barn-- why would you want to keep those fantastic genetics in your herd? Sell all progeny too!
i saw a number of these when i was helping peace corps in guatemala with their native cattle, since they received no minerals at all, the consensus was a lack of enough calcium in diet contributed to it. (average size calves)
since then, i have always made sure pg. cows had access to plenty of good palatable mineral in the last months of pregnancy, especially.
