January 26 - Today was preg-check day!
Once a month we have our vet come and check a list of cows that have been bred to see if the pregnancy took. He uses a special wand ultrasound that goes in the rectum. He then looks for a calf in the monitor he has on his head.
It's important to keep track of pregnancies on a farm. On our dairy (like most farms) mommas are given at least 2 months maternity leave before their due date - cows have a 9-month gestation.
We dry them off (hence the name "dry cow") and put them in a separate group for some R&R before calving.
