[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 726514, member: 968"] It's that time of year, when I pull in our closest cattle due to calve, to have up front, by the house so I can watch them. We will pull cows/hfrs each week from now on; like to have them close at least 2 weeks prior to due date. Well, we had 4 out of our 2-yr/3-yr old group to pull. We brought the whole group up & I like to give all of them an extra close look before putting the main group back into their winter lot. I had spotted one that looked "way closer" than expected & was pretty sure it wasn't one of the "keepers" as they were moving in front of us on the trek to the barn area. Sure enough, it was a 2 yr old that is not due until Feb 4. Very loose vulva & pretty good developed udder. I have 16 in this "group" and had not noticed her condition on my walk-thrus daily. I had been a bit dissapointed in this heifer all fall & early winter, thinking she wasn't filling out, maybe a bit "leaner" than she should be. Now, she may just be a real early developer - but - I "suspect" twins, so will be keeping an extra close eye on her. Let's keep our fingers crossed it's not twins - or too early calving! [/QUOTE]
