Case means form or variation.. Think of having a case of the flu: you are still yourself, but you are in a different form of yourself, so to speak, and you can only act in certain ways as a result of that state. Most Latin nouns, pronouns, and adjectives appear only in a limited number of different forms. For example, for the Latin word Ã¢la (wing), you will generally see only these forms: Ã¢la / Ã¢lae / Ã¢lam / Ã¢lÃ¢ / Ã¢lÃ¢rum / Ã¢lÃ®s / Ã¢lÃ¢s . Latin has several different boxes of endings.
And, cows that lose weight and body condition after calving have longer post-partum intervals. So with all that in mind, the postpartum interval, if conditions are ideal, for beef cows is between 50 and 60 days for an average of 55 days. First-calvers will be at least 10 days longer.
When a dairy cow is born, she is taken from her mother within 24 hours, if not immediately. The primary reason she does not stay with her mother is so that she does not drink up all the farmerâs profit (e.g. her motherâs milk). That milk is for humans, after all, and if left to her own devices, sheâd suck it all down.
