    In Clare, if someone said a cow or heifer was "starting to spring", it would mean she was starting to bag up, so getting near calving.
    A Springer would be a young heifer that was well in calf, say 7 months or more. It would not mean a cow, only heifers.

    Thanks lads.

    I thought I was losing it ;) I'd have said that a cow or heifer bagging up or showing milk when you'd draw her was a springer.
