[QUOTE="Nithsdale, post: 5900898, member: 17508"] Disagree. I used to cull all ewes which prolapse and survive. 4 years ago I had 5% the flock prolapse :banghead: the ewes had harnesses used and I lost track of offenders, the majority would in the end be retained and will still be on farm today. A change of diet (concentrates) the following year and I have had almost no prolapses since and have not culled because of it alone. Last October I was trimming the tail on a cast ewe (broken mouth) and noticed wounds, which would be from me stitching in a prolapse. Something I have not done in several years. To add - I had 2 prolapses in 2018 and both ewes went on to have rotten lambs - 1 died, the other reared no lambs and went cast in May. They don't all re-offend [/QUOTE]
