due mid march...just something I noticed
 
geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez. took me 4 days to post that..kept getting a general error message.

anyways....im not too concerned..should I be?
 
Did it go away in a few minutes? It is not usually that obvious.
Wait, I looked at the picture again. That is to far forward to be normal. Are you sure she had not had an injury to the ribs. Maybe from one of the horned cows while in the hay ring.

Looks pretty far forward and high. Also pretty early to be seeing that much of a bump isn't it?
 
It does look a bit too sharp and too far forward... and a bit early.. I wouldn't expect the calf to weigh over 40 lbs now (there's a chart somewhere that says how much they weigh...)

I'd think it could be a rib injury as well, or perhaps an abscess from something that poked her there?

I agree, not a baby bump. Swelling from tissue injury is more likely.

Baby bumps only last a few seconds to minutes at most.
 
One of my heifers just *really* showed me her baby bump yesterday while feeding.. she's 2 months off yet.

Has this bump disappeared now?
 
i couldnt see it over the weekend. we were mving to another pasture so they were all fired up but it wasnt as noticeable as it was or it wouldve easily been spotted.
 
If it's forawrd of the lst rib it isn;t a "baby bump". Behind the rib cage it probably is. I had one cow that I swear carried her calf sideways the whole time. One day it looked like she had calved cause there was no bump, that night she calved.
 
The mother, and grandmother of the heifers I spoke of were cases of carrying the calf sideways.. I always said they looked like they swallowed a barrel.. sideways

She calved so easy I always claimed she could pass a volkswagon sideways. Sometimes I thought she might take me up on it.
