what to do with this heifer, bought this reg. lowline angus last oct, was told ai;d and confirmed preg, nothing at her do date this spring so had the ai tec out to sync everyone and checked this heifer out and she was open so we sync her also, at ten days bred everyone waited a couple of weeks and turned my bull out with them, this heifer came back into heat and caught the bull in action, 18 days later she was in heat again, he got her again, he also covered a couple other cows that came back in, I then leased the bull and this same heifer came in again caught her standing for my steer,the ai tec came out within a few hours and tried her again, had the vet out at 31 days to ultrasound a couple and palpate some , said he could not confirm her preg, so I asked him while he had the ultrasound in her to see if theres any reason he could see that she could not have a calf, he said everything looks to be okay,the very next day shes in heat, so my first thought is is to butcher her as I don't want to sell her to someone else, just don't do business that way I would rather take my loss and eat her. she is now about 2 1/2 years old, but she is put together real nice and when I look at her I wonder if I should keep trying until spring, I just got started in this last oct, and have a total of 12 head so feeding one more is not a real issue for me, but for you with experience am I wasting my time trying,
thank you
