[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 10294"] Which side is swollen? If it is the right side, about 5 o'clock if looking from behind, that is likely just the calf lying sideways. At that stage of gestation, the calf is often doing that. If at 6 o'clock, there is likely a problem. If on the left, it could be the calf or a problem. Give us more details and we'll try to help. > I posted this on another site, so > forgive me if you have to read it > twice:) We've got a Hereford > heifer that's due to have her > first calf between now and > November.
