Hey out there! Late this summer we purchased a 10 year old pregnant Longhorn Cow with a very good looking bull calf at side. She comes from excellent bloodlines and has 64" horn and tends to outproduce herself. Anyway, presently, she is about six months pregnant. Using a weight tape, she "weighed" about 900#; however, she "looks" like she waeighs about 1,200#...lol. Last month had Vet out and he gave her some shots and checked her out--said was possibly due to eating some bad weeds (we have very few weeds in our pasture)that caused her to build up fluid in her abdominal area (she looks like she is about to have triplets--full sized ones! LOL.). Vet also recommended she be put on "dry lot" feeding, which we did--some reduction in belly size after about a month. She appears to be in NO stress or discomfort. The very reputable breeder we got her from swears nothing is wrong with her. This cow is the ONLY one in our herd who seems to have a "belly" problem--we have 2 other cows (younger) that are about the same time along in their pregnancy.
