Today, after I fed my three cows, Fanny and Violet start eating hay, but Louise stands by the trough and shuts her eyes and starts humming like she is talking to the calf inside of her. This is not a good sign because she is not due till April, so I pull up a chair and watch to see what is going on. She just keeps humming and she begins to work her back legs as if she is uncomfortable, like she is cramping, and she shows no signs of calving as far as udder or relaxation or discharges, and tail is still, but what the heck is going on with this cow? She does this for about 20 minutes. She then opens her eyes, and walks to the hay and starts eating. I can't say that I have ever had one do this before that was not about to drop a calf. The man I purchased her from gave me the date she gave birth last year. She is due April 3rd. This afternoon she was acting normal. Anyone ever had a cow that seemed to be talking to the calf inside way before they calve? I have never had an Angus to do this. I often have Angus to start humming the day that they will give birth as they begin to talk to the calf before it is born.
I hope that nothing is going wrong.
