Shepherd’s Choice™ Management Tip
Proper way to suture vulva after vaginal or uterine prolapse. Divide vulva into thirds. Make large box stitch. Start at area where skin and wool meet. Use 3/8" umbilical tape and S-curved needle. Leave enough room for 2 finger width between sutures.Tips

The needle was smaller than anticipated when I ordered, but it got the job done sewing a prolapse cow!
