have a BW black angus cow that is 5-7 year old that has a large mass under the belly, size of brisket. she is due by april.
i am guessing that she may have a twin. the large protrusion is on the right side, not on the left side(rumen). i have never seen this before. may be a twin, breech position with a large calf, or large calf.
my cow that had a twin had a large mass that extend on the right side, like large a basketball or watermelon.
but this mass is also large but same size a large brisket under the belly. i thought that it may be an ectopic pregnancy. without a help of ultrasonic machine, i am just guessing.
i am having a vet look and palpate this friday when i am off. i trying to save the calf and cow. if he has to do a C-section, i will be prepare with colostrum. i don't want to lose the dam and the calf or calves.
if a bred cow has a C-section, when can the newly calf start nursing to the dam. i would gladly appreciate your kind and generous advises. uscangus. thank you for your generous help.
