[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1817644, member: 25884"] Is she a Jersey? It looks like the calf/calves are not getting her milked out at all... and I would definitely get her in and milk her and check the quarters. Try separating the calf from the cow for 12 hours and then see how she does when you put them back together... One calf on a Jersey that is eating fresh grass is not enough to keep her milked out. Sooner or later she will wind up with udder problems. I put 3 calves on my Jersey nurse cows right from the start and if they are real heavy milkers, they might get 4 at a time.... better the calves "want" more instead of having too much. I agree with [USER=24027]@TCRanch[/USER] ... need a temp on the calf and you need to see her actually doing manure to see if there is a problem with it. The heat does not help the situation and since I am on the western side of the state, I know you have been hotter over there... Being in heat at 60 days is very normal for the cow and they will hold up their milk sometimes too... [/QUOTE]
