[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 976970, member: 968"] She is running late. She calved 9/18/2012. A cow in good condition at calving should come back into first heart about 30-45 days after calving. Your cow (if this IS her first heat - and probably is since you said she had a patch for the past 45 days) took 98 days. That would be cutting it close in a herd that has a specific calving season. We expect out cows to be bred & calve within a 60 day season. Our breeding season starts almost the exact same date each & every year. If your cow is bred today (and CONCEIVES), she will be due about 10-8 - so, if she continues to take 100 days to come into heat - she will be out of range. If she is a 2-yr old and this is her first calf, then that is not totally unusual. That's one of the reasons you always read how it is recommended to calve your heifers early in the season (if not 2 weeks prior to the cows) because it may take them longer to breed back. I wouldn't be looking to cull her just yet. There are a lot of reasons for a cow not to be fertile - body condition, hard calving, age. [/QUOTE]
