[QUOTE="showing71, post: 660942, member: 11621"] The cows that get CIDRs calve late January to February. They get CIDRs in the first week of May (by then they have had their first heat cycle after calving). We only put CIDRs in cows that have had this time span. Any cow that calves from March 15 on does not get a CIDR. This is why I find this 2 month thing so strange... We must be doing something wrong, especially if no one else has had this. Granted, there has only been 10 or so cows in the past that have done this, but it is always the cows that raise the best calf from AI sires. It wouldn't be as big of a deal if they didn't get bred AI and cycle right away the next month, but they don't and they nearly miss getting bred by the herd bulls (herd bulls get pulled from the pasture in July).
