[QUOTE="sunnyblueskies, post: 1825335, member: 39112"] Interesting. Never heard of the practice on planned abortion on young heifers. Don't know of any neighbours around here doing this either. Not knocking you, just saying I wasn't aware of the practice. So my question, how old are these heifers when they are accidentally bred? Does the induced abortion of a first pregnancy affect the heifers future cycling at all? I completely get the reasoning of why you would do it. A wreck is a wreck and if you can avoid that, bonus. Just don't understand how this can be a constant re-occuring scenario. My choice would probably be to figure out how to avoid the possibility of those heifers to be bred. Like [USER=42463]@Travlr[/USER] said. Not saying that we never had a wreck with a heifer happen either, but once or twice in 20 years isn't the same situation that you are dealing with. Which breed are your heifers? Curious if early maturing females is a genetic trait? [/QUOTE]
