Hello, I'm pretty new here and to cattle.
I have a pregnant cow that has at least 4 weeks to go. Possibly longer(bull was here 3 month) but she is pretty huge.
Barely fits in a 28" chute. She's Highland.Bread by a Angus.
Anyways she has been walking as if she is lame. I found a crack in her foot (coronet band to halfway down),took a good pic and took it to the vet.
He says don't worry till after she calves (also researched this and seems it is common and not much one can do) then we'll check it out if she still walks funny.
My hubby says she's walking funny because her huge belly sways back and forth and she is loosing balance!
So do heavyly pregnant cows walk funny sometimes?
Or heaven forbid, could this indicate twins? (the hugeness at 8 month)
:wave:
