If you remember a few months back Posspix posted about her Jersey heifer with the really weird bag. Having been AIed late last year she thought she was bagging up to calve. She had the vet out to preg check her and she was not pregnant but sill had this big funny looking bag. What to do? Here's what happened.......
I got in touch with Janet and her hubby ( wonderful people by the way ) and after several conversations I made the drive to Eugene and picked her up. Boy do they feed their girls WELL! Fat and Sassy every one. Pixie being the biggest and most aggresive of the 3 was storing enough for several hard winters!
When we picked her up she was in raging heat and not real happy about getting a trailer ride, but ride she did all the way south to /Cave Junction. When we arrived home it was starting to get dark so we promptly put her into the field where her and my bull became very well aquainted, if you know what I mean!
After everything settled down we milked her out both by machine and by hand. Then started the long process of drying her off. She is just now after several months of fighting with it finally drying off. She has not cycled since the day we brought her home. In 2 weeks the vet will be back to preg check her and we are anxiously waiting for good news.
On initial inspection by the vet he said he had never seen such a bag as hers. He seems to think that the people Janet bought her from had her brought into milk artificially and something went wrong. Her internal check showed no abnormalities and he suspected that her overweight issue was the reason for the AI breeding not taking, and her not going into heat regularly after wards. She is still on the chubby side, but diets are just not her thing!
She is a wonderful happy heifer and we are very grateful to have her. Thank you so much Janet.
