[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 651906, member: 5106"] Thanks Knersie :oops: that is actually what I had typed or meant to but my typing is so bad that I just hit spell check so it switched it from resorbed and resorbtion to absorption etc.,,I guess I should proof read better..Also is it resorbtion or resorption, I need to go through my text books again. As far as my bred exposure ,,I AI as many as I can so they will calf in the first 3 weeks of January will the PE calves starting in the last week of Feb.. Now my bull went back in the herd today, and my AI cows are in days 23-11 after being AI'd when they hit day 30 combined (and if one has a heat in the mean time I will AI it again) they and there Jan calves will go into pasture with the rest of the herd and the bull..Therefore when I pull the bull in around 65 days my some of my calves will have reached 5-6 months of age easily as they will go in May 8th and the bull will be pulled around June 25th (I will add that it is common practice to do this for commercial as well as seed stock as having multitude pastures is not conducive. I also add that I AI commercial as well if they come into heat before I put my bull in. Last year the earliest heats I saw were 2 herf/gelb crosses at 17 weeks and 20 weeks old I thought they were just fooling around until one dumped a very tiny fetus after we Estrumated and Dex'd them .I would never have thought it had come from her if my husband wasn't there when it happened.
