For those of you with Brahman influenced heifers.. have you ever had a heifer get a big navel area prior to calving? I'm talking just a matter of days.
I was out grooming the show calves, and I've got one of my Simbrah heifers up in the yard because she's getting really close to calving. She was hanging out at the barn door, so I went out to scratch her, and when I reached under her to scratch her belly, noticed her navel area! It's as big as my fist! No hole that I could tell (hernia) but seems to be liquid filled. Of course her bag is big also! This is a recent thing.. I see her every day and just now noticed it.
Anyone?
