I asked earlier about a 1st time heifer bagging up as soon as she got bred. Well, its 4 months later and she is starting the signs of calving.
Tail is lifted and butt is sunken in. Is her bags ok for a calf to nurse? They are filling more each day, but I don't know if the colostrum is good or not. Please help me. I say I should milk her out before the calf arrives, husband says I'd get rid of the colostrum and that would be bad. What do I do? :???:
 
dont milk her.just watch her and be ready if she needs help calving.have the vets number handy just in case.
