[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1498197, member: 24816"] A few years back we had an Angus cow that I thought was getting unusually big a couple months before calving date. I thought at first twins, then became afraid something was wrong, she went over about a month when she started calving she couldn't have it. A vet came out and did a c section after he realized how large the calf was. the calf was filled with amniotic fluid and probably weighed well over 200lbs. The vet guessed it at 250, he called it a condition known as Hydrops. In that case the water bag was like a rubber ball almost and the afterbirth was enormous and a different texture than normal and it was probably 100 lbs, had a heck of a time getting it out of the barn. That was a freakish thing that was just an isolated event that I hope I never have to deal with again and to make matter worse it was one of my favorite cows at the time. [/QUOTE]
