[QUOTE="jkwilson, post: 399078, member: 969"] Lutalyse is the natural hormone and Estrumate is a synthetic. Not sure why, but our vet asks how old the animal is before choosing which one to give us. It has not caused any issues with getting the heifers bred the following spring, and it doesn't seem to affect them. They are in the middle of weaning, so they aren't in the best mood anyway. It's just too hard with our facilities and time to keep the heifers away from the bull. We always seem to have later calving heifers and an AI cow who slipped a couple of cycles that still need to see the bull while the earliest born heifers are getting some age on them. I do know that some people believe that using it for heat synchronization increases the incidence of twins. [/QUOTE]
