[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 843236, member: 5106"] Now to never have this happen again you and every other breeder/buyer of early maturing breeds need to take precautions !!!!!!! Every heifer that I ween at my place whether she is a replacement or a cull is given a shot of prostaglandin and dexamethasone at at around 9 days after the last bull exposure . BTW it is usually not the herd bull that breeds them but their bull calf contemporaries. This has been stressed so many times I am surprised that it has been neglected by so many as fotter. I would also demand vet costs back as well ,the heifer was sold as open . You need to add your own responsibility on to the next time you buy an open heifer as you now know what can happen and have been told how to avoid this in the future. Give your new heifer (which by the way is a very nice looking Piedmontese) a shot of prostaglandin and Dex JIC . Good luck ; you have a nice looking group of heifers . edit to add : What some ranchers do when they send the cow/calf pairs out to summer pasture they separate all the cow/calf heifer pairs from the cow/calf bull pairs to limit this scenario as much as possible without the added cost of aborting them at weening.
