Cow pregnant and in heat.

[Farmer Kitty]

Not to much here. Lots of Herefords, Simmental, and Angus for beef and dairy is Holstein, Jersey, and getting to see more of the Belteds scattered around.

There used to be a registry for the Blue and White Holsteins but, that has gone by the wayside now, from what I understand.

The smaller dairy herds here are using Linebacks for cleanup breeding-- much as they used to use Angus years ago. It seems that Lineback semen settles the problem cows quicker. In my skewed view, I wonder if the Lineback semen just isn't as diluted as much as the Holstein's.
Also the Lineback registry will grant registration to any animal with a definitive white line on its back, so it's fairly easy to acquire a *registered* herd quickly.
Is all this a good thing? Shrugs who knows? And I've strayed far from the topic. my apologies.

Well the vet had thought Lucy was bred to the date that would put her due in Sept. The breeder thought she was due by the Oct. breeding which, would put her due later this month (7/22).

Guess who was right..............

Abby is also due later this month. We got them in plus two more due this month. Look what we discovered with Abby.

Yes, she's still pregnant.

We did start milking her.

Just wondering, would bringing her in, cause her to start letting down her milk?

No, she was already leaking when we brought her in. Also, just bringing her in shouldn't cause her to leak. Sometimes the hormones are just screwy.

I know sometimes if I have a cow that is standing nicely for her calf to drink, and the calf hasn't a clue what to do, the milk will start pouring like that!
