What You Do in the Next 48 Hours Affects Whether She Breeds Back Next Season
Dr. Sarah EssentialsShare
A retained placenta is one of those postpartum situations that can go from inconvenient to serious, fast.
Most farmers know the basics: if the placenta hasn’t passed within 12 hours after birth, you’re dealing with a retained placenta. What many don’t realize is that how you respond in the first 48 hours has a direct effect on uterine health, recovery timeline, and whether she’ll cycle and breed back on schedule next season.
Watch Dr. Sarah walk through exactly how she supports a cow with a retained placenta. →
Why Early Response Matters
A retained placenta creates the conditions for uterine infection. Bacteria move in quickly. The longer the tissue remains, the higher the risk of metritis, delayed uterine involution, and the kind of reproductive setbacks that follow a cow for months.
The goal in those first 48 hours isn’t just to get the placenta out. It’s to support uterine tone, discourage bacterial overgrowth, and give the reproductive system what it needs to recover fully so she’s ready to cycle again on schedule.
Introducing Uterine Cleanse
Dr. Sarah has been working with a core set of natural uterine support tools for over 20 years in her practice. For most of that time, farmers who wanted to follow her protocol had to source the individual products separately and piece them together on their own.
Uterine Cleanse changes that.
It brings together the key elements of Dr. Sarah’s retained placenta support protocol into a single ready-to-use formula: Aloe C, Caulophyllum Tincture, First Step Tincture, and essential oils of Rosemary, Tea Tree, and Eucalyptus. Every ingredient has earned its place through years of clinical use.
If you’ve been assembling these products yourself, this is the simpler way to have them on hand when you need them most, which is usually at 11pm in the middle of calving season.
Have It Before You Need It
Retained placenta isn’t something you can plan for on the calendar. It shows up when it shows up. The farmers who handle it best are the ones who already have the right tools on the shelf before calving season starts.
Add Uterine Cleanse to your calving kit now so that when the situation arises, your first 48 hours are spent supporting her recovery, not tracking down supplies.
