[QUOTE="John in WI, post: 358441, member: 3507"] Came home today to find a 5 year old cow (Simmental) lounging on the haypile, with what looked like a sock hanging out of her backside. The end of the sock was redish/pink. She's due with her third calf in 30 days. I made a quick call to her seller, who is also my 'mentor'. He told me it happens in some cows when they lay in a certain position and not to worry about it. I called the vet and he told me it sounds like the beginnings of, or is, a vaginal prolapse. It may fix itself, or if it worsens the vet may have to sew her up and I would need to watch her for signs of birth and then cut the stitches (which would be hard because I'm gone 12 hours of the day.) Her first two calvings were supposedly unassisted with no problems. I'm wondering if anyone else has dealt with this situation and what opinions you may have on it. Thanks, John [/QUOTE]
