Pregnant cow question?
Back in march of '14 i bought a cow calf pair. The people said the steer was roughly 4 months old (they kept practically no records) and the cow had been with their bull, so she's probably bred.
Nice looking angus, $1,200, good deal.
Now, i got all setup and ready for a calf. I figured anytime from late August to November at the latest. Here it is early December and no calf yet.
She has progressively gotten very big, but she has NO milk, no swelling, just a big belly, more than just from grass/hay.
I figure even if she got bred the day before i got her she should be calving now.
She has not come in, that i know of, she's in with two yearling heifers and hasn't acted strange like she is looking to breed.
Why is she so big? When should she get milk? Do they ever carry past 9 months?
I'll call a vet sometime in the next couple weeks. If i see no calf. Any advice?

Depending on the breed of your heifer. They become sexually active between 9 to 22 months of age. Your heifer would have been to young to been bred at 4 months. The weight you are seeing maybe for the winter. When she do come in to heat best time is at 15 months. You would have to find a bull to bred her with if you are wanting any babies. Look up and read up on how to bred your heifer. There are helpful sits that can help you in breeding your heifer and avoid for the headaches. Best of luck.
