I need some advise on a cow i wanted to ai.I have never tried to ai her before and know nothing about her usual heats other than she try's to gain ahead days each year so pretty fertile.
I gave her a shot of gnrh and inserted a cidr-starting from 0 days to the 7th day then gave her a shot of PG(estrumate).Cow was 57 days postpartum when i started.Then i started watching for heat-had a kmar and tail paint on her.At about 96 hours i thought i could see some mucous discharge(clear) and a bull that passed by the facility she was in seemed interested.
However, the others with her never smelled of her-tried to ride her-nothing.One of the ones in with her usually try's to ride the hair off of anything in heat but no interest.If i had not seen the discharge and the bull being some what interested i would of thought no heat ?
My question at this time is how long do i have to wait to start this process over again---and should i maybe consider doing timed ai next time.
Appreciate any advise.
