Some good advice and suggestions have been posted. If you do decide to spend a few $$ on having the vet out, it would be well worth it, for several reasons. 1) if you don't already, it will help to establish a good working relationship with a/your vet. 2) while the vet is there, ask as many questions as you can think of, regarding the cows, calves, their care, vaccines, management, etc. (which ties into #3) by asking and getting answers, you're adding to your education for a reasonable price. Your vet will also be well versed in what types of management "styles" & "methods" work for your area. Not all parts of the country, or the world, have the same practices.
As for the cows in the pictures, I see nothing wrong with them that some groceries can't fix. They may very well be pregnant. Keep them, calve them out, see how they do as they go along, if need be, wean calves a bit early, while cows are looking decent, sell cows and put $$$ towards a few more.
