[QUOTE="boondocks, post: 1076093, member: 20599"] Just did our preg checks after following a 7 day protocol. We'd AI'd 7 total: 5 of them took on the first try, and one took on a second try (she was blind with pinkeye at the time of AI). The only one that tested open is a heifer we did not see any heat in, over the past 2 cycles. Will go ahead and re-AI her but it's a bit odd we saw no heat at all; we caught the other one that didn't take because we were watching all of them closely. Hope she's not infertile...Kinda bites that calving will be so spread out now. Hopefully we'll be able to tighten her up next year. Still, we were pretty happy with the results, all in all, especially since 3 of the 7 were first-timers...I can definitely see that heifers aren't as likely to catch on AI! [/QUOTE]
