[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 80438, member: 968"] I am unclear about the tail held out, that could be a problem a vet needs to address. It is not uncommon for her to pass blood for a week or two. And if it comes out, they are likely to eat it (YUK). As far as vaccinating prior to breeding, by all means YES - and I would recommend using a Modified Live Vaccine. Gives better & longer protection than a killed vaccine, and if you use Pfizer's BoviShield 5L5, you can vaccinated the calves with MLV anytime while they are still nursing. (I say use BS because they are the only one that their label says you can do this). I use BS on my cows & calves (for years now). Now, breeding the cow - first she needs at least 30 days from calving. I believe they do not recommend putting a CIDR in for 30-45 days post calving. CIDRs and hormone shots do wonders, but if her body is not ready (or close to being ready), all the hormones in the world isn't going to get her pregnant - especially if she did not clean immediately. She may have a low-grade infection that her body needs to take care of. My vet recommends giving Lutalyse 10-14 days past calving if they retain their placenta to help "flush" out their system. Why are you trying to breed her back so quickly?? Normal gestation is about 280 days so that leaves 85 days to get her bred to calve the same time next year as she did this year. Unless, you are trying to "up" her due date next year, I would give her 45 days without the CIDR to cycle naturally on her own. But, I would give her another Lut shot in the 10-14 day past calving and make sure her nutrition level is high enough for her to cycle back. [/QUOTE]
