Guest guest Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 Hi all. Question: I have two Jersey and ¾ Jersey/Holstein X heifers both 2 YO first fresheners, both bred to our low birth weight angus bull at around the same time. I saw the X bred, so I was sure of her dates. She was due July 29th, but as is typical for a heifer, calved slightly early last Wednesday and gave us a nice small heifer calf. We did not see the Jersey actually bred so it could have been a few days later, however, she has been leaking clear mucus for about 2 weeks without going into labor, seems happy (although hot…it’s been over 100 here every day), chews her cud. She has all the signs of being close, definite spring, huge udder, loose-ish hip ligaments, but has not calved. This mucus thing is outside of my experience, so I want to ask if I should be concerned about it. My husband is a little worried because he’s taking all but one of the older kids to camp in East TX this week, so I’d love to either ease his mind or know for sure I need to call the vet. Thanks, Tina in TX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
