Heifer with Stretched Out Uterus?

[allisonr]

Just had the vet palpate the herd. As he deemed one of the heifers as open, he asked how big her last calf was. He had a pretty surprised reaction when we told him she was a heifer, no calves yet. He said her uterus wasn't right, but stretched out, as if she had carried a large calf. Just curious as to what would cause this? Genetics? She was AI'ed with no pasture exposure (our fault).
We paid a little more than we should have for her, so she's getting a second chance and is turned out with the bull for a bit to see if nature will run its course, but will probably be shipped out next spring.

Possible that the heifer that had the stretched out uterus was carrying and didn't lose it when you AI'd her and then slipped a bigger calf ? You said she was bought so maybe she got caught and you just didn't feel it ? Stranger things have happened...

Maybe she got caught at the dirt tank as a calf and sluffed.
