New at this "cattle thing", so hope I don't expose my learning curve!
We have a now 2 1/2 year old heifer who has, on two occasions, been exposed to a bull. The first time, she was about 18 months old and was not cooperative. The second time, she actually jumped the fence to get into a pasture with other cows, which included a bull. She was then two years old.
She is a large heifer, looking like she's weighing about 700 lbs, but have no"expertise" in identification of visual signs, i.e. swelling, and no discharge is present. We have no way of knowing if she is pregnant, but her teats are beginning to drop down. Is this a common thing, even for heifers, or is this an indication she could be pregnant?
Appreciate all input!!
