Bumping

[Named'em Tamed'em]

Do you think you can feel a calf at 4 months bumping?
Thanks

Nope. We can’t bump a calf until 7ish months. And even then you can’t bunp them sometimes. Our cows are three weeks out and we don’t have to bump them. Just run their bellies.

No.

I remember when dairying I would bump cows for calves at dry off (55-60 days before calving.)
So no I absolutely could not bump a calf before 6 1/2 months pg.

I think at 4 months the calf is about the size of a cat?

Small cat.

Plus at that stage they fall down over the pelvic bone and can be hard to ultrasound.

I didn't think I could feel anything, I'll blood test her.

Thanks!
