We have a red angus cow that is technically due to calve about Thanksgiving day. We have not had her pregnancy checked. We bought her bred (AI) with the AI date on the papers.
She looks big and healthy. Her sides are bowed out some. We still have decent pasture (fescue) and I feed 12% creep every other day with minerals and salt free choice. I am concerned that she doesn't look huge 4 weeks out from calving.
I have a few goats and they get so big they have trouble walking.
How should a cow look 4 weeks from calving?
