I see a cow aborted a set of premature twins. Every year like clockwork.

But you may want to test her for the group of pathogens that cause abortion. It's a common enough event that I won't worry about it unduly. I've read that 3% of cattle not carrying to term is considered average. Every year we seem to have one or two instances which would put us substantially under that. |

Plus keep in mind Silver has substantially more cattle than we do, Raven, so lower than 3% would be the equivalent of us losing one (or twins) to abortion every couple years. I had a stillborn twin last year, the other was too far gone with hypothermia when I found her that morning so hopefully I'm good to go this year. Knock wood! |

We're assuming from flood stress.
Currently, 221 calves on the ground. We don't remember a time we had this many by this date. So we're feeling pretty fortunate.

I've had a few abortions over the years, every year after a heavy snowfall.. I think I figured it out though, Snow weighs down the pine branches and the freaking idiots have to go eat them.. doesn't take much and they'll abort
This year, at great expense to the condition of my fields, I kept them away from any pines.. No abortions (yet).. cross fingers.

But longer answer is that it is extremely rare and generally only something you'd see if they are under severe pressure for food source. Doesn't enter my thoughts and cedars make up probably 60 to 70% of the trees here and the cattle have to hustle about this time of year. Abortion is very rare. |

No idea about cedar, we only have them right at the creek, well out of reach of the cows Pines on the other hand, they just gotta eat them even if they're well fed.. damned idiots But hey, this year, no access to pines, no abortions! I foresee my self taking a chainsaw to a lot of them |
