Sounds like you have done very well T&BT & B farms said::mrgreen:TB521 said:I have another question when I was synchronizing my cows I forgot to give one GnRH so I just gave her 2 shots of lute 7 days apart and she still hasn't came into heat tomorrow will be 72 hours after 2nd shot can I AI her and give her GnRH if she's not in heat or just start over with GnRH
I am very very far from an expert, and shouldn't even be commenting.
I did very similar to what your saying, I watched heats a month before and recorded them. A few cows I screwed around and missed their heat, so 10-12 days later I gave a shot of lute. It took some of them up to 5 days to come in. Majority seemed to be 72-96 hours.
This is my first year doing my own ai work also. (Hired it done for the last 10 years)
I've bred around 60 head so far this spring, and passing the syringe has became almost effortless. I still have some im not completely sure on semen placement. A few cows still give me some trouble, but I've only had one I wasn't able to get completely through the cervix. I'm very excited and slightly nervous to see how I do. It sure has been enjoyable, im very glad I learned to do it myself.
The protocol I used was GnRH 7 days later give lute breed the ones that come into heat then 72-84 hours after lute breed the non responders and give GnRHFarmgirl said:TB521,
As to your question. You could not expect great results if you AI results by giving GNRH at AI on the one cow. GNRH is given only for timed breeding protocols. All of the timed protocols require a CIDR and GNRH at the beginning of the sync. Make sense?
Good luck,

Assuming that she's cycling that will work just as well as what the rest of them got.TB521 said:I have another question when I was synchronizing my cows I forgot to give one GnRH so I just gave her 2 shots of lute 7 days apart and she still hasn't came into heat tomorrow will be 72 hours after 2nd shot can I AI her and give her GnRH if she's not in heat or just start over with GnRH
If you like your cleanup bull then just go ahead and AI with gnrh. If not then gnrh plus a cidr and then a week later pull it and give lut.TB521 said:She's 60+ days post calving I figured she's already cycling that's why I wasn't worried about trying to catch her again when I forgot to give her the GnRH but she's still not in heat
