[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 660473, member: 968"] I use CIDR's as a tool. I do not feel that the heats from them are good enough. If you have a cow/heifer that is NOT cycling, and you use a CIDR, they will have a standing heat - but, I don't think the egg is very good. I find that if I use a CIDR, give a prostiglandin shot when pulled. Observe heat, wait 7 days & give a prostiglandin shot again - than breed. Get very good conception that way. This system would work for you also. But it would mean another trip thru the chute. If they settle, even for a month, it meant the egg was good. Don't understand the 2 month repeats - unless they weren't actually bred to begin with. If you were having a health or nutrition problem, I wouldn't think it would make any difference if they conceived after a CIDR or natural heat. [/QUOTE]
