We have a small herd of beef cows and one of our favorite cows seems to not be getting bred this year. She had her 3rd calf this past March (always calves unassisted and no problems) and has been with our bull since June 1st. From early May to early July she was consistently coming into heat every 3 weeks. Then we didn't see her in heat for 7 weeks so we assumed she got bred back. Again we thought she got bred because she went 6 weeks without showing heat but now she is obviously in heat again.
Our vet preg checks the herd in October but we will probably not check her at that time since she wouldn't be far along. She is in good condition and the herd has free choice mineral. Also don't think the bull is the problem because the rest of the herd hasn't showed heat since July.
We are likely going to sell her because of her not breeding back on schedule but like I said she is a favorite so if there is a chance that we could fix whatever is causing her to not stick then we will consider it.
Thank you.
