I'm having one cow that is pushing very hard but not like she is trying to calve. It looks like it's coming more from her anus that her vagina. She strains hard and then goes and lays down away from the rest of the herd. She will still come to feed but she goes and says down afterward. Has anyone experienced this? She is also about 3 months away from calving and doesn't look to be bagging up. Thanks!
 
Have you seen her poop? I had a bull one time that got impacted and couldn't pass his stool until we helped him clear it out. If she is having regular bowel movements she could be having s miscarriage possibly? Just a couple thoughts.
 
If she were mine, I would get her in, glove up and check her out Rectally. Clean her out and feel for the calf. If you are not comfortable/experienced with that, call a vet.
