[QUOTE="Double R Ranch, post: 1594194, member: 411"] Have a 2 year old with her first calf at side. Bred after good standing heat post sync. 21 days would be yesterday with no signs of heat 18-21 days. Bred first time around first calf. This evening an old cow we left open is in standing heat. She followed the 2 year old around for a long time and the 2 year old wouldn’t stand but she was mounting the old cow repeatedly. Eventually she stands for a second, ears back but moves off fairly quickly. Has done a couple head rests and under belly bumping to the old cow. In her previous heats she stands still like normal. No other heifers or cows are paying her any attention and she does move when they get close to her rear. When I separated her from the standing heat cow (moved to different pasture) she went right to nursing her calf. No one else seems to be trying to mount her at all. Breed her in the morning or wait and draw blood? She’s not 73 days post calving so I can’t run blood on her at 28 days post breeding. We also are getting into over 105* days (she’s a straggler born late) so the longer I wait to rebreed her if necessary the less chance of getting her settled. She’s in good condition. Thoughts? This one kind of has me stumped. [/QUOTE]
