[QUOTE="kentuckyguy, post: 1613487, member: 26293"] Most of the studies conducted on AI work at dairy farms shows that estrogen levels in other cows have a great affect on mounting. Cows that are 3-5 day pre or post estrus are most likely to ride other cows in heat. Others could care less. I have noticed with my small herd that certain cows will ride other cows more often. It’s almost like they will only jump the cows they regularly socialize with. This year I had some tough ones that didn’t get mounted but were trying to mount every cow that came by them. Cows that displayed this behavior all seemed to be in heat when I bred them. [/QUOTE]
