What is the vulva on a cow?
A cow's vulva is synonymous to a woman's "vagina" or vulva, and is the entry point from the outside where cows conceive to produce offspring, give birth to a calf, and also urinate from. The vulva of a cow is the entry-way to the vagina and the uterus, and is a part of the cows' reproductive system.
What is another term for a calf in gestation?
This could be pregnant, or in calf. By the way, its cows that are only pregnant, it is physically impossible for calves (as they are babies) to get pregnant.
Can cows get pregnant when nursing?
Yes. In a cow-calf operation, cows always have to get bred 2 months after they've calved, which means that they are still suckling a calf when they get bred and subsequently get pregnant.
How long is a chimp mother pregnant?
Never. Chimpanzees can not give birth to young cows (a calf).
How old does a bull calf have to be to get pregnant?
A bull calf is male with male reproductive organs, which means he cannot get pregnant. Only females (heifers, possibly heifer calves and cows) can get pregnant. Thus, your question has no merit whatsoever.
Can cows in calf estrous cycle again?
No. Once a cow is pregnant she won't have any signs of heat again, until after she gives birth to her calf.
Does milk from pregnant cows contain hormones?
No, not in a significant amount that it would adversely affect the calf or a human.
If a cows vulva is swollen how long until she gives birth?
It all depends on how swollen the vulva is and how quickly it swells. My pregnant cows vulva has doubled its size overnight so Im assuming a week or so. From memory it was huge last time she gave birth,it was large enough and floppy enough that it bounced as she walked and then she calved within the week. But I do think all cows are different,going by age and if she has calved before. Id also like to add,you can tell by the change in the cows behaviour where shes at. They tend to isolate themselves,rest more and urinate more just before calving.
Do cows need to be constantly pregnant to continously give milk?
No. Cows can be open and still be able to lactate. They must have GIVEN BIRTH to a calf in order to be able to lactate.
Do cows have cherries?
If you are referring to the hymen of the vagina, no, cows nor heifers have such a membrane on their vulva.
How can you tell if a cow is in heat when there are no other cows around?
She may bawl a bit and pace the fenceline. If you're in the pen with her, she may try to mount you. Her vulva will also look red and swollen, and a few days after she's gone in and out of heat, you will see a little bit of bloody discharge from her vulva.
How do you tell if a cow is a virgin or not?
There are really two ways to tell if a cow (or heifer) is a virgin or not. One is by the size of the vulva, and the other by the udder and teats. A virgin cow (a female that has already reached adult maturity at around 3 years of age) that is not pregnant or has never been bred will have a smaller vulva and almost no udder (except for four small teats between the legs). Cows that are not virgins will have a larger, more defined udder and teats and a larger vulva. The reason this is so is because, with the udder, milk needs to be produced in order to raise a calf. Mammary glands in cattle are only developed when the cow or heifer is pregnant: growth of teats also occur to allow for a "better grip" for a calf to suckle on. As for the vulva, they are larger in "experienced" or non-virgin cows because they have been stretched out from having to pass a calf through the birth canal. This stretching is the same in women, and is the very reason why heifers and women who give birth for the first time find it more difficult (and more painful) to give birth than those who have given birth before.
