[QUOTE="regolith, post: 622455, member: 9267"] She's not fat. I'd put her at condition score 4.5, maybe a bit less, which for a heavy milker is fine (NZ scoring, I think we use the same scale as US). She'd need to put on a bit before calving. I think it's too early to tell a pregnancy by looking at her. She's a nice capacious Jersey, lots of room for the rumen to expand. I can't generally pick a calf by looking at the side before the sixth month, and even then can be wrong as some don't show till late (look before moving them to fresh grass). If you see her every day it would be unusual not to have noticed her in heat though. [/QUOTE]
