[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1660427, member: 25884"] A couple of things I probably should have clarified my reason from..... You bought the heifer last summer... So 6 months time and feed in her so far... should have been bred already.....and you stated that you just want to cull her. Is she out of a certain bloodline you wanted? If not, then why keep agonizing over it? You don't want her calf off cycle from the other animals..... seems to me that you were set to just "can her" and are looking for us to talk you out of it. I would have given her 2 shots of gnrh or lute after the 2nd time she came back in after 17 days. Shot at 5 days then another again at 10 more days.... that would cause the CL to dissolve and might have shocked her system into a more normal cycle. It still would have gotten her out of synch with the rest. At this point you don't want her out of synch and calving in the cold weather.... so the sensible option is to sell her or eat her. One other thing.... have you had a vet check her????? I had a cow that came in heat and got bred. ALL AI breedings. 2 months later I thought I saw a heat....3 weeks later she was standing.... rebred her.... Vet checked her preg to the first breeding..... she came in heat throughout the whole pregnancy, had her checked 4 TIMES..... and she calved right on schedule to the first breeding. So just for your own peace of mind, get her checked just to make sure she is not bred and just showing these heats.... and are you seeing discharge during the "heats" and maybe some blood on the tail 2-3 days after???? Or are you just seeing her riding/being ridden ????? My cow stood in full standing like heat every time. Take her by the vet's office and if she is open/cycstic go right on to the stockyard/sale barn or to the butcher. Or suck it up and see if she gets bred and then try to get her into the same time frame with the others. If she is having these problems as a heifer, she can either get straightened out with a pregnancy.... and be fine.... or she will continue to be a problem and I personally don't want a problem breeder starting out as a heifer....
