[QUOTE="kjonesel, post: 1219785, member: 16842"] I also thought about using CIDR, have bought a round of them but never used them. They are still in the office. We keep our heifers to breed in a nearby lot where they can be seen from the house and caught them all in heat in less than two weeks which was quicker than I got around the using the CIDR. Seven out of eight took so I've yet to use them. The one heifer who didn't breed came back in heat at about 7 1/2 months so she could have been bred. She was always a crazy heifer and when we were getting her in the chute she kicked a corral panel so hard it hit me along with her hoof and lifted me off the ground and sent me flying about 8' landing on my rear. My son was frantic that she had hurt me. She was still in the corral and I looked down the driveway and the truck was still hooked to the trailer. I thought if she gets out I may not get her back in again. I sent my son in to call and see how late the yards were receiving for the next day. He came out and said till 10:00 which gave us 2 hours to load her up and make the 45 minute trip. After we got her loaded up and were on our way I told my son I had had a discussion with God. He had to knock me on my ass this time to get rid of her but next he was going to have to hit me over the head to listen. I figured I had better listen. Glad I did because my ribs hurt for 3 weeks, I could only imagine how long a head injury would hurt. [/QUOTE]
