[QUOTE="VaCowman, post: 1557529, member: 33135"] I just had my heifers checked a week ago. Due to weather and all the mud, I was able to get the heifers caught on Saturday morning while ground was still frozen and moved to another farm with better loadout in muddy weather. Spring steers were on that farm, but what the heck. I checked them Sunday and I be darn, one of the heifers was being ridden...and of course, it was one of the "top" heifers I was really hoping would be bred. I took them to the vet on Monday morning expecting the worst, but vet said she was 70d bred with a little bull calf! (Ultrasound is the way to go if you can get it done) Vet said calf was very active, heartbeat was clear as a bell and no reason this heifer shouldn't carry to term. Vet said it happens sometimes. I also had a cow that was bred 8 mos. and stood for the bull...and I mean stood for the whole service by the bull. less than 3 weeks later that cow calved a nice healthy calf. My father-in-law said, "Son, you better not sale that bull, he'll breed a cow and 3 weeks later give you a dandy calf like that!" haha I never would have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. Atleast it didn't get one of it's eyes poked out! [/QUOTE]
