[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1825435, member: 24027"] I had a heifer bred as young as 4 months old. Very rare in my predominantly Angus herd but shyt happens. I pull the bulls 6 weeks prior to weaning when the heifers are appx. 6 months and they all get a shot of Lute at weaning. But it can still happen if a neighbors bull jumps the fence and one year, we had a stag that still was able to breed. No, it's not reoccurring, but Lute is relatively cheap insurance. And no, it doesn't affect future cycling or ability to breed back. A friend of mine rarely pulls the bulls in a timely manner, Lutes all the heifers at weaning, and averages about 5 abortions. Plus, they wean later, when the calves are appx. 8 months old. I chalk that up to poor management but not my monkeys, not my circus. [/QUOTE]
