It's tough to tell without seeing the heifer, but she could have missed the A.I. date and be bred to the bull 21 days later. With no bag and not loosened up at the back I'd hold off inducing. At 285 days from the A.I. date, she could calve in 14 days to the bull.<p>I've been doing this all my life, and am third generation, but I still learn new things all the time. I'm happy to share any insights I might have, just ask.<p>The calves from that bull are looking great. I'm very pleased witht he way they are growing and the style they already have at 2 months of age. We use the top A.I. bulls we can find with proven numbers, and when I have 2 bulls that I raised that sire calves that stand right with them, I know I've done my job and have a solid product to promote as another top A.I. bull to other producers.<p>Go to clubphoto.com and type in my e-mail if you want to see a few other pics (
