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.
From the time she calves to when she is bred again, this time period is only around 3 to 4 months long. A dairy cow will commonly be lactating for 10 months out of the year. For two months she gets a rest before calving and beginning lactation again.
