What does it mean for a cow to prolapse?
Also to know is, can you butcher a prolapsed cow?
But most likely, if you've calved cows and heifers for any length of time, you've had to deal with a prolapse. Most prolapses occur very near the time of calving and two distinct kinds exist.

Prolapse of the uterus is a larger, longer mass, more deep red and covered with the "buttons" on which the placenta attached.
