[QUOTE="J+ Cattle, post: 1707232, member: 4063"] Zoetis and others will be happy to take your money for DNA testing but my experience their fertility numbers don't reflect reality in my small herd. Don't waste your money on it. At 800+ pounds size and age should be okay, sell the open heifers and save yourself future problems. For the 13 new heifers shorten the time exposed to the bull to 75 days and cull any opens afterwards to select the most fertile ones. A 75 day time period would give each heifer 3-4 chances to get settled. [/QUOTE]
