Does anyone have a picture of a Hieffer or cow ready to calf so I can sell how swollen they are and how big their bag is supposed to be? I have been trying to post a picture but have not been able to, I am lucky I can communicate on-line. If someone has one it would be greatly appreciated

different heifer 24 hours before calving.

yeah i guess i should add that these heifers are beefmaster crosses so they have some brahman blood in them and your average say..hereford probably wouldn't be this loose.

the tell tale sign for me with heifers is that their udder will look extremely feverish. you can see it in the red heifers udder but specifically the teat and area where the teat starts and under the back of the udder will be really feverish, usually.

To txag and Beefy - nice job! Those pics should be worth more than a thousand words for lancemart! Good reference for the mucus questions that appear quite often also.

These are great pictures, thank you very much. This is a great place to get answers and even pictures. I really appreciate the information. She has a couple of weeks to go after looking at these pictures.
Thanks again

Jeez Beefy, get those cows out of the parking lot and put them back in your pasture before they get run over!!

I thought we had it bad here, but my place looks like a rainforest compared to yours!
 
lancemart, what i do is not scientific at all, i dont pay much attention to their back end, but i focus on the cow's udder. as a rule of thumb, when i notice a cows udder starting to fill, i figure in about 10 days, give or take, she will calve. it is for my info only and some will calve sooner and some later, probably more are later than sooner, but that gives me a pretty close day to zero in on.
