[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 229507, member: 852"] I'd almost be willing to bet you that cow is going to have a new calf on the ground within 20 days. :nod: Get that 9 month old calf weaned [b]NOW[/b]. Long story short, with the information you provided there's a 99% chance she's begun bagging up in preparation for her next calf. I've seen it enough times in lactating cows -- sure isn't ideal but it happens from time to time with those dairy cows where we milk them as long as we can anyways. Cow really needs 60 days dry; if she's a really good cow she should raise that calf OK on a shorter dry time, but you [u][i]must[/i][/u] give her several months dry before the NEXT calf. [/QUOTE]
