[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1574041, member: 968"] I have never cut a patch in half. Guess you could. Be sure to take the time to make sure they are really stuck. Also, NEVER delice or use pour-on dewormer when you use patches - they WILL come OFF!!! If you pay attention, you usually will have a steer or bull calf that is ALWAYS around the hot ones. If they are laying down, don't get them up right away. Observe for discharge 'puddle" behind them on the ground. They are generally pretty close if they do. You have best conception on the 2nd heat, but I always breed on 1st heat if it's been at least 30 days. I would patch all of them. In my herd yearlings generally have a 17-19 day cycle (18 average). Cows 20-22. Like Ron said, you will "learn" your cows behavior. When you have multiple cows in heat, watch the side line. Timid cows may be in heat, but are afraid to "butt" in. I quietly maneuver a hot cow over with the timid one and observe. You cannot chase them. Remember, the one doing all the jumping may actually be the one standing!!!! [/QUOTE]
