[QUOTE="Hpacres440p, post: 1849190, member: 39347"] Update-he is now 14 months old-I witnessed the full Monty breeding of a 2 year old heifer-streaming, slime, draining-the whole 9-on 3/22. Had not had any signs that a 4 year cow has been cycling, so assumed she has been bred, but tonight witnessed heifer is trying to mount the cow. Heifer is FAT on grass-she will be in the freezer if blood test is negative in 2 weeks. I’m AI’ing bull calf’s dam with sync protocol starting next weekend. Remember-super small herd. I should probably draw blood on younger cow this week to see if still open-if so, give her one more AI shot in case bull was shooting blanks. As much as I like the heifer-she missed AI last year, if she is still open after being with the bull for 60 days with several witnessed breedings, I’m probably going to blame her (and her fat). Bull leaves regardless probably about July or August-I’ll pick up a heavy bred cow instead. His dam usually sticks AI (unless she doesn’t 🙄). Reasonable plan? [/QUOTE]
