I moved a cow to another pasture and within 10 minutes of her being in pasture the bull mounted her multiple times, before this I seen the bull in the other pasture mount her once then again a few weeks later and havent seen him on her since so I assumed she was bred and that was about 5 months ago and now I put her in a new pasture and the bull and other cows is riding her so is it possible for cows to heat cycle after being bred
Can cows cycle after being bred?

Had a similar scenario. Key to this is "moving to new pasture". Just what dun said. In new herd setting, may have been establishing pecking order.
As said anything can happen, but my vote is she was in heat. She either didn't settle five months ago or slipped the calf. To answer your question no a bred cow will not come into heat after they are bred, they will start to cycle again after they calve. But there is a pecking order factor and as much as the Bulls were mounting her sure sounds like she was in heat.

Absolutely possible. Have had several cows over the years that will ride every 3 weeks like clockwork after they have been bred for months. Very hormonal genetics. Only way to know for sure is to preg check them.

I had one stand for the bull for 2 days in January.. she calved in april... Yes, it does happen, but it's not very common
I have a couple of cows that even after being confirmed pregnant will still stand and act as they are in heat. Usually they stop after 4-5 months. Very frustrating at times. So yes, it does happen. Ultrasound her and you will know for sure.
It is absolutely possible to be in standing heat even if they are bred. We've had it happen quite a few times. They still have follicular waves while they are pregnant, but normally the presence of a CL doesn't allow the formation of a dominant follicle, which produces the hormone that makes them show heat.
I've never seen one show another heat a cycle later, though, and end up being bred. If she does it again in 21 days I would highly suspect that she is open.

I'm somewhat older than 20 and have been in the business for a lot more years but I still learn new stuff all the time. When you learn it all you might as well quit because you will have lost the battle and won;t improve .AyerFarm":3e4cc7nd said:
