Question Update on Hereford?

Do she go see the butcher, or have a calf?

Are you talking about my heifer? She has some goo today. We hadn't got the vet out yet, don't have a good place to hold her and will probably have to trailer her over to grandpas, were planning on having the vet out next week probably.

Did she look like this? If so, well, she still does.
I've been thinking if she is bred, she should be due by the end of this month. It's almost the end of the month. She's still huge. I keep saying I can't believe she's this big and not bred, but there's been no change.
Next week I intend to run her over to the other pasture, and if there's no change in a few more weeks, I guess I'll make that appointment.

Can you take her in to the vet to have her checked?

I'm just not sure how I would go about it. Stella comes when I call her, but otherwise does not lead and is not tame to touch. First I'd have to get her on a trailer, and then, I guess she'd have to be put in a squeeze chute.
And once I accomplished all that, I sort of doubt I'd be able to get her in a trailer again for going to the butcher.

Upload your images at http://www.pixentral.com/ When the image loads scroll to the bottom of the page and copy the line of code next to where it says "forum" then simply past that code back here.

(It helps if the longest side of the image you upload isn't any longer then 700 pixels.)

Your post will then show a thumbnail image that folks can click on to see a larger image if they choose. Using Pixentral makes the forum run faster, and is easier on folks with dial-up.
