Bred cow..?

[jdcopkid]

Going to pick up this cow tomorrow, seller says 5 months bred.. not vet palpated or anything.. what should I look for when picking her up? Never purchased a bred cow. Do they show much at 5 months?

At 5 months there isnt much to show unless she is palpated.

What Kenny said . If you can find an ole timer or young one that could bump her . Only other choice is take her to a vet . Newest technology is a sonogram or there’s always palpate her .

What... you have two threads with identical titles?

Most cant be bumped until 6 months or more.

It looks to me that she might possibly be bred. Right side flank seems a bit puffed out.

Being 2nd trimester the calf is very small if it's in there. Bit does seem to have a little bit of a baby bump to me.

Could be totally wrong.

Sorry to tell you this... but you can't tell by looking.
