I agree on about 3 weeks for her to calve - and she looks in fine condition to calve successfully on her own, not overfat. Good luck!
NOT OVERFAT. come on Jilleroo. Did you really look at that first picture. Compare her one feature at a time with any accepted BCS scoring chart and see if you really believe the term "not overly fat" applies. One thing's for sure the calf won't be too big but i'd like to know what if any reserves does this heifer have to make milk with.
I have some questions.
Is this a registered Angus as you say?
Is there a seedstock angus producer on this forum who would want a heifer to look like this 2 or 3 weeks pre-partum?
I am not saying any of this to hurt this persons feelings. But to say she looks Good is just not right.
I have had heifers look like this a week or two post-partum but never pre. The other difference is they were living in 0 degree weather and licking snow for water and fending for themselves for grass with a little hay to help them out. Not living in Florida with green grass, free choice hay amd minerals.
