[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 636252, member: 852"] How big is this heifer? I've seen heifers palpated down to 375lbs without issues. A blood test for pregnancy is an option too if your vet(s) can't palpate. Google BioPRYN for info on that. As dun mentioned, Lute won't do much (usually) at 4 months bred.... also, calf is too small at 4 months to bump it from the outside flank of the cow as you described. If the vet can feel the calf it's at least 5 months. If the heifer isn't bred... could be plenty of other things including bloat, poor nutrition resulting in a stunted animal with a potbelly, digestive upset for some reason... couple wild guesses. Pic available? [/QUOTE]
