I bought a group of replacement heifers from a Ranch in the sand hills of Nebraska. I had the local vet at that end palpate them to verify that they where bred. The ranch stated they where bred to calve in March/April. The Vet agreed.
The heifers are on another farm. The youngest son has been taking care of them so I had not seen them since maybe Christmas. HE told me last weekend that the heifers looked too far along. So I did the chores over there this week. I noticed that some of the heifers where looking like they where bagging up.
So we moved things around and got them to the home place. Just in time too!!! Got two that calved over night and three others that look like they will drop today. Fifteen more.
We had to make a warm up box as I never calve this time of year.
So now we have ONE more thing to worry about in the cold weather that we have coming. JUST GREAT!!!
I also called the ranch. These heifers are supposed to be registered. The heifers can't be bred to the bull they say as they did not expose the heifers to him early enought for these calves to be from him. These calves are full size. Just one more fun thing to worry about. WHO IS the sire????? WHAT did I pay for???
