this was my first year to preg check using ultra sound. had two cows confirmed out of sixteen with twins. the vet said one had two good fetuses growing and both looked to be a good pregnancy for both calves. She was due December 14 and I watched her as close as I could since she had lost a set of twins the last time she had a calf. she finally had her calf on December 23 and only one bigger than average calf. the second cow had one smaller calf and fluid looked cloudy. the vet said she would probable absorb the smaller calf. She was due December 28 and finally had her calf January 10. also bigger than my average calf size. Sorry but I do not weigh my calves. My questions for the CT family is if the late calving is related to absorbing one of the twins and how late in pregnancy will a cow absorb one of the twins. these cows were preg checked 70 - 45 days. I AI everything so I know their due dates. very seldom do I have cows go past 5 days of their due date.
