[QUOTE="Cibster, post: 1315371, member: 18982"] Last spring I had 10 first calf heifers to breed back. I was strongly considering just throwing them out with the bull to get them bred back quickly, but I decided to throw CIDR's in them and give them one round of TAI. All but 2 stuck to AI. The ones that stuck....some lost a week or two on their calving, but some moved up a week or two. I tried to set them up so that everything was about 45-60 days post calving. I put them in their own pen about 2 weeks after calving and fed them a little bit better, but not much. I really think the CIDR helped. Prior to using the CIDR I always just tried to catch them in a natural heat thinking that would be better. I'll use the CIDR protocol again this year for sure. Then I just reuse those CIDR's on cows that calved a little later to try and move them up. [/QUOTE]
