Thanks Jeanne and Farmgirl!! Very interesting, these abnormal and strange nature things are why I am such a curious science nut!

She looked like all of my other heifers, nothing unusual noted. Thanks for thoughts!

That is wild! Since your post I've read a little bit, very interesting.

It just wasn’t mean to be, I guess. Trying to fool Mother Nature doesn’t always work! Thanks for sharing your experience.

:cry2: I know that’s right, just wanted to give her every chance. Thanks to all for your advice!

Also, with our procedure, she GETS two GnRH injections. Thanks for you input!

Yep, we always worked with a cidr and synced. She is the only one that never showed standing heat, only mucus observed and AI’ed on timing. BTW, if it matters, she is a Shorthorn.

By vet exam, she is anatomically correct. She is 3 +/-, can’t remember exact dob.

I am really disappointed in one of my heifers, I was just starting to like her. She is by EUC Tabasco. Very quiet, docile and the older she gets the better she looks. She has failed four attempts to breed by AI and she has been with a bull for the last 2 months, no observed heat. She shows...

Ah....that's a great idea! And yes, sounds very fair to me. Thank you, you're a genius!

That makes some sense to me. One of my reasons for wanting to protect my ownership opportunity is about breeding. I would like to establish a consistent breeding line of quality purebred shorthorns. When shopping for semen, I do a lot of research and reading about traits and EPDs with the...

Thanks Jeanne, I see your point about the big farms just "using" the kids for PR. I will never be a "big" farm, don't expect to ever keep more than 4-5 cow/calf pairs. I understand I will not get rich doing this, but I can't loose too much money! I just enjoy staying active, learning new...

Thanks Boot Jack! Great advise, I am going to be way more active in my area and try to follow the 4H schedules very closely. I am also a volunteer on the Health Committee of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, but we cover the 00"exhibiting kids" health. I should expand my activities into...

Thank you for your thoughts! This was just a raw concept I thought of, however, apparently it's not anything new. As I learn more about these kinds of deals, the details would be worked out with each individual showman. And yes, one of my objectives has always been to provide opportunities...

Thanks DLD! This arrangement could be a way for a kid who cant afford to buy a calf get into the show ring, I like it!! Thanks again!
