[QUOTE="Nite Hawk, post: 1460752, member: 18682"] had a cow that bred, no problem, no sign of heat for like 7 months. She was losing weight so I dried her off> ( Milk cow) and she then started putting weight on like crazy and came back into heat.. She was in a small pasture, and we never saw any expelled calf or anything, and we were in close contact with her every day. Sold her off at butcher prices, in case she wouldn't breed and settle for the new owner, and I was totally up front about the cow being open, but the person wanted to try her anyways. Later on after being on the other farm for a fair amount of time, something happened, no one knows what, she came in one morning, moving real slow. She seemed to be improving, and the vet was out anyways and he did a check of her, and was in shock. Her pelvis was broken totally apart and her bones were grinding . Also, her uterus was so scarred, he said she would never have settled. We have no idea what happened, but wondered if she had caught, and then the calf maybe died inside, and instead of being expelled maybe mummified / re-absorbed. As for the broken pelvis, that is a real mystery, cause she was totally fine when we had her. We wondered if she gotten knocked down by another cow-bull, and fell on something real hard--tree-metal--who knows what.. One you scratch your head about, but the vet said he had never seen anything like it--the inside scarring and broken pelvis.. I would definitely get a vet check to see if she is bred. I have had fat cows go though the winter--no heat, and come spring--they are just that---FAT- no calf. Get her checked either by a vet or someone who knows what they are doing.. [/QUOTE]
