[QUOTE="j&lfarms, post: 1080161, member: 20054"] I went to check the cows today and noticed that one of them had a thick red strand of goup coming out of her vagina. I have been around about 15 cows when they are very close to calving and watched them all the way through the calving process. I am used to seeing a clear to greenish mucus plug come out a few days before they calve but have never seen anything red like this. It isn't a whole lot, but enough to get me curious. I have a 45 day calving window beginning on December 16th and going into the end of January. I would have to look at the calendar again to be sure. This particular heifer hasn't made much milk yet and isn't springing as much as the other 2. I took a few pics but by the time I thought to take a picture she had bumped into another and rubbed most of the stuff off. I called a vet and told him about it and he said not to worry too much unless she looked like she was straining or if she was laying down a lot. Has anyone else had this happen or know if I should be worried? I can get her in the chute but would rather not unless it is a must. It really reminded me of an afterbirth placent type thing just slimey and not enough of it to be afterbirth. I don't think she has already calved because she still has a large belly and she was following me around when I walked the feilds double checking for an extra calf. If anyone has any advice or suggestions I would love to hear them. Thanks BTW: Remeber the pictures below are after she rubbed up against another at the trough and rubbed the stuff off. But you can kind of see what I saw.
