picture is a little dark. Other than rare infection in her glands. It would appear to me that she is bagging up. I had that happen to me a few years ago with one and she was only six months old, it was some type of infection don't remember what it was called.

After losing a heifer last year, we give them all a shot at weaning to abort any that might have gotten bred. Cheaper than losing one. Hindsight for you I know, but as they say: Been there, done that.

Yes. We had two yearling heifers calve year before last - both of them had to have help, but they delivered, raised their calves - pretty good calves, too, considering the circumstances, breed back on time and delivered on time the next spring.

Yes. Not the ideal situation, but probably be ok.RedAngus121":1lwyib3d said:
Yep, we have had several. They were bred at four - six months before they were weaned & while still running with mom. MOM was the one the bull was supposed to be covering, not the whole family!! They calved fine, we helped one, not the hardest pull we've done but not easy, mainly because of the large size of the calf and the smaller height of the cow - we ran out of pulling room before we ran out of calf! There were no after effects other than for the first couple years the girls were smaller than the other non-mom heifers. But they have all caught up. Calves looked good too when we weaned.
We pull our bulls earlier now - ;-)

Well, if you don't want to get rid of her the only other alternative at this stage of the game is to keep an eye on her. When she's bagged up pretty good and has dilated a fair amount, move her close to the house where you can watch her and get her help when she starts calving. 3rd trimester is a little late for aborting, I'm thinking.

yeah the Vet said you could still do it but the Chances of her Breding Back arent very good.
She Should Calve some time in May.

Bought a replacement heifer that had the same year ear tag, all her baby teeth and settled right in wit the others. Expected her to be ready for the May/June season...she calved in April and bred back in June...had a smaller calf, if she has another slow grower they both will be finding new surroundings. DMc
