[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 200963, member: 968"] Yup sure do - I heat watch at dawn, dusk and several times in-between. :shock: :D I do use "tools" such as a crayon stick to mark their tailhead, if rubbed off I look for other signs. Occasionally use K-Mar or the new "scratch off" tabs that Genex is selling. I like them, but I learned the hard way - don't apply them to the back of the cows at the same time you run them thru the chute for delice or deworming - eeekkkss - they all fell off. I will put them on if I won't be able to "heatwatch" close - like gonna be gone all day or evening and EXPECT one to be in. Also, will use Lut as a "tool" - if I see one messing or showing signs, but never catch in standing heat, I'll wait the 6 days & bring her back in. Don't use it to syncronize. We try to breed the heifers 2 weeks prior to the cows. [/QUOTE]
