[QUOTE="Aaron, post: 1013493, member: 1682"] Had a heifer with a uterine prolapse today and another with a backwards upside down calf. Backwards calf died within 5 minutes (frothy blood coming out nose). Nice bull calf. Weighed in at 101 lbs. Wouldn't have been a problem if it had come properly. Vet sewed the prolapse up. Told her I haven't had a prolapse in 13 years. She told me one in 13 years is by far and gone better than any other operators in the area. I guess she has quite a few horror stories she could tell from this year alone. Lots of 140 and 145 lb calves being born this year in the area. One guy was running a very-low BW Angus bull on heifers and stacking the calves like cord-wood in 130 head herd. He's going to need a new puller by the end of the season. Reputable breeder that sold the bull took his scales over and couldn't believe the size calves that are being thrown. [/QUOTE]
