    Good job Bod, that turned out well, fine calf. I had to get a cow stitched earlier. She had two feet of a vaginal prolapse, I was half thinking of putting up a picture but it wasn't a pretty sight. She is a sixth Calver , time up in seven days. Have to cut the stiches whe she starts to calve. The vet reckons she'll calve ok. It'll be her last calf for sure. I had to jack her second calf, a PAM bull out of her and I reckon that's causing this problem now.

    Sounds similar to my escapade with this one last year a mas du Clo stock bull broke in and calf was a weanling coming out, she calved @25 months, 3, 4 and now 4th calf @ 5 years but it was the brute last year that done the damage

    The cow I got stitched has just calved twins. I cut the stiches just after she put out the water bag. The calf was coming and a small pull got him out, thought he was small so i put my arm in and found another leg, calf was coming backways and other leg was twisted down. Got her straightened and out easy enough.

    All looks ok for now. I wonder is it possible she might still put out the calf bed or seeing as she didn't put it out during calving is it unlikely to happen now?

    Usually having very soon/immediately after the calving. But it's a different problem to a prolapsing vagina/cervix.
