[QUOTE="Victoria, post: 908014, member: 1258"] Since the cow is young and has been able to carry a calf I am thinking of four possibilities (other than what has been mentioned): 1) Her condition is too poor to be able to get pregnant. Hard to believe since the rest of your girls are pregnant unless she has been sickly. 2) She had a really tough calving on her first and/or didn't clean after (infection) which may have caused permanent damage. 3) She has an ovarian cyst. This can be checked by a vet. If she has a cyst then she can be put on shots to fix her. This does not always work but does have a fairly good success rate. I have done this with two cystic cows -both re-bred right after the regimen and have gotten pregnant in the years after. I don't have the shot schedule with me here but I can get it for you tomorrow. Why you may want to have her checked before starting her on the shots is... 4) She may be pregnant. Although not common it does happen that a cow will cycle part way or all the way through her pregnancy. Right now you have a cow that even if she is fixed will be breeding back later than everyone else. Maybe she is worth it to you for the extra time and cost, maybe she isn't. The shots are fairly cheap for cysts. [/QUOTE]
