I have a heifer that was aied December 3, I went to feed today and noticed another heifer was riding her and she was standing for it. My question is did she possibly abort the calf or is the other heifer in heat or is this a false heat. She has no discharge so any input is welcome
 
Maybe, maybe, and maybe.
That's about all any of us can guess.
You could have her palpated - at 3 months, that'd be an easy one to diagnose. Or bleed and submit a sample for a bovine pregnancy test.
 
Thanks lucky I don't have a headgate over there or I would palpate her, that's one reason I had her over there because that was going to be summer pasture. I may be able to run her up between the gate and board fence enough to subdue her
