Cow won't stop mooing - here we go again - NOT!! Update on Page 4

[Sjisty]

Hi all -

Please help. This cow is about 2 years old. We have had her a year. Nothing has changed in her care. She gets the same food, no new cows, etc. She is kept with a young Brahma bull, about 1-1/2 years old.

Last night at around 9:30 she started mooing once about every 30 seconds. This went on all night until about 4:30 this morning when it stopped. Now it is 5:45 and she has started again. I can't see anything wrong with her. She looks fine and stops mooing when I go out there.

Any suggestions?

Is she breed? If not, she could be in heat.

Well, she's in with an almost 2-year-old Brahma bull. Hopefully he will keep her busy and shut her up - I need to sleep tonight!

How long does a cow in heat usually bellow?

 

[Farmer Kitty]

It varies, but a day or two. We have one bellowing right now too!

Thanks for the help, Farmer Kitty - you may have saved her from the freezer! This is, as you can plainly see, our first experience with cows.

You're welcome and no problem. Ask any question you have-there are no dumb, silly, etc. questions.

I have a whiteface here, that I told my husband she was getting a bullet the other night. Yep, she's in heat. not bred, cuz she is headed for the freezer come october. but if we had a bull nearby, Iwould have considered it.
