Hello I asked this on another thread about bagging up but it must have got missed.
My Highland heifer was preg checked 7 month ago along with my cow, who the vet said was 2 month at the time, and the heifer was not.
Well she started bagging up or whatever you call it when a heifer starts growing an udder.
I checked a couple of weeks ago and it was only a couple of quarters just starting to fill out. Yesterday I noticed she has quite a little udder on her now (been busy with the cow that had her calf 10 days ago,so my vet was really close).
Also noticed some milk on her leg! I don't see it dripping , it must leak when she lays down.
Is this normal ? I'm thinking she can't be more than 7 month (or 8 ,don't know how early a vet can detect pregnancies) but if she was close to the cow he would have been able to tell at the time.
She is not showing in her belly but she is huge (not fat) like Holstein size!
I know I could call the vet back to preg check, but I figured if you guys can at least tell me if the leaking is nothing to worry about I can save 50 some bucks!
Thanks ,Chris
