[QUOTE="1848, post: 205682, member: 1303"] It could be normal behavior for a show animal to go off feed. Just make sure she has good clean hay and water. If she goes two days w/o eating then have a vet look at her. Montior her water intake by using a known amount in a bucket or trough so you know she is drinking. Is her stool normal? If she is ill, then it may or may not be related to the pregnancy. It is not uncommon for a first time heifer to be 5 days late past their due date. Lying around and seperating herself from the herd is normal in the later stages of pregnancy. She is probably just real uncomfortable about now.. ;-) P.S. Let her out of the barn and let her relax by having room in a small lot if you have it. [/QUOTE]
