[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 526846, member: 852"] Have you seen her in heat recently? You could have the vet check her again. At 45 days it's only about the size of the eraser on your pencil, and he could have just missed finding the calf. Or, seeing as she's due in 4 months, you might be able to "bump" a calf if you put your hand on her lower right side, just in back of the rib cage, and push. My vet checks my cows down to 32 days and I haven't had one slip a calf because of it. Theoretically it's possible though... in the first 60 days. You'd have to be really rough to make a 2nd or 3rd trimester cow abort. I do practice checking my own cows since my vet has been teaching me.... but I won't call a cow open or bred depending on what I feel. I'm not that good yet. He makes the decision, and then I get to find out what a _____ day old calf feels like. It's not near as easy as folks make it out to be. [/QUOTE]
