Dang it

One or the other of my 2 favorite mommas is showing heat. Wife just told me one was riding another. Almost 3 months after returning the bull to his owner. I have a feeling its the same one that came up open 3 months after blood testing bred the last go around. Starting to see a oattern with her. If that's the case she's gone. A shame, because she's really starting to show what she's capable of as far as calf rearing. and a great mother.
I'll blood test Saturday and send the samples in.
Sucks.

how is she really starting to show what she is capable of in calf raisng and mothering if she has came up open
just because she raised one or two decent calves doesn't mean $hit if she doesn't settle while doing it

Most of them that take a good long rest between calves seem to raise a good one when they raise one.

Unless a cow can successfully have and wean a calf every 12 months it seems like a $$ losing proposition no matter how good the calves are when she finally has one. And if you keep a heifer out of her you are likely spreading the poor production genes.

You guys are all correct.
I'm still learning and I'm sure that's obvious
