Thank you for all the info and the time to explain your opinion of things. It does make me feel better, I will update with any changing photos and maybe a calf soon.
Thank you for all of the info. It is helping me learn for sure. I didn’t have a care in the world 8 weeks ago, thought we had until Thanksgiving, but then she changed and big time changed. Went from no visible teat to big and swollen and swollen girly parts with tons of mucus. I’m going to go...
I agree, I don’t mind paying for the vet to come out. Just went out to feed, only to find mucus, it looks clearish-white to me. If she doesn’t calf in a week AND is still doing good I will have the vet or at the very least my brother check things out. I have posted new photos and to me she looks...
I haven’t walked our land, I check on them frequent and I am assuming, if she aborted, that I would have seen some afterbirth on her rear somehow? I have planned on giving her another week and calling the vet out if nothing happens. She hasn’t had a drop of discharge in two days, she has been...
I figured I wouldn’t post the same pictures everyday. She isn’t more swollen, teats are still long, bag hasn’t changed. Still eating and acting normal. How far can she go? Couple more weeks? Maybe?
Today I guess the dips on the side of the tail are deeper, udder is the same and the girly parts look longer but more sunk in. Might be more swollen and is just looking like it’s sunk in? Maybe we will have a baby soon. Belly button was slightly larger today.
I wasn’t going to post anymore photos until she calved, but Being a first timer I have scoured the internet for photos of what to look for. I haven’t really found much on the progress of beef heifers. So for the sake that someone else learns something or it puts them at ease looking at my photos...
Not yet but her back end looks different than earlier, the center looked stuck together but now it has some space between it. I guess like the opening is wider? It isn’t every step just now and then, one time she stumbled. She was aggressively cleaning our other heifer. Never seen that before...
She is still pregnant, has a mucus string about 1 foot long now but that wasn’t there a couple hours ago. She seems to skip a step like she has pressure on the back legs. Is this normal? Posting current photos. Still eating, drinking and acting normal aside from the missed step every now and...
I have watched a few videos and aside from maybe helping pull the legs by hand I am not confident in assisting. We have a vet 8 miles from us and I would rather call to help. Hopefully I will have enough time to get him here. This mama is my first bottle baby and I am afraid of hurting her being...
