cow bleeding vaginally (I think??)
I was in the pasture today and noticed my one and only cow (not even 2 years old, Ive had her for 1 and 1/2 years) had a string of blood/goo hanging from her vagina? I also have one steer and two young bulls (maybe 7 months old, very small) in the pasture. What in the world is going on? I saw her mounting the steer a few days ago.... Im confused ??? Please help, Is this normal? I know, I should be informed BEFORE I buy the animal, but they were just supposed to be freezer animals, but they delivered a cow and we kept her. Any advice would be appreciated.

They are so tiny, i cant imagine it is physically possible. Plus, they are so laid back, i dont think i have ever seen them mount anything.

Your heifer had a heat period a couple of days ago, mark it down on your calendar in case you want to breed her.If the bulls are as small or as young as you say,they did not breed her.

She should recycle on Christmas Eve. However keep an eye on here from the 22nd-26th, because they sometimes won't go 21 days, they can go anywhere from 18-24 days from heat to heat. Usually it is 21 days. If they did breed her, she would calve around the first week of September.

When the time comes to breed, when the Heifer is in "standing heat", she'll find a way to make it happen. There's always a low spot in the pasture, a log nearby, or she can lie down.
I've loaned two 7 month old Dexter bulls out to breed a small herd and both performed.

WOW! They just seem too young to be verile. They were born in March, so I quess they would be almost 9 months now. They seem so small. Well, if she is bred, then that is cool!

Usually it is a yr before a bull is viable, and sometimes slightly longer. If I were a betting person, I would probably bet they are too young. They could perform, but they might not be "ready" yet.
Nevertheless, keep a close eye on her, and if she does come into heat. I would watch her, and see if they are interested, or if she is terrorizing them instead of them after her  .

I have Holsteins breed hit or miss at 10 months, and by 12 months they are getting everyything done. Seven months seems pretty young to me, but there could be a breed difference. Anyway, you know she's cycling, and that's good.

The Jersey in them should make them pretty aggressive, the hereford would make them shy, and they are active more at night.

Well they are niether aggressive nor shy, so go figure? They are freindly and curious, maybe the herford/jersey cross made them a pleasant blend!
