[QUOTE="rogergreaves, post: 1172162, member: 22540"] Breeding was done in May for February calving. Ultrasound was done in June, one pregnant, one open and in heat, re-bred, one broken advised to cull (she looks like a bull except for the plumbing.) Given where I am in this process, one calf would be okay, two a blessing and I'd hope for a better year next year. But, I noticed signs of heat in both of them and decided to draw blood and send it to the lab. Both possible pregnant cows open. This is September. If I breed them now I get June calves of the wrong breed and I'm off cycle. All my girls are Fullblood and registered. I have three cows that could breed but one has a June calf on her and these two plus two heifers that will be ready to breed in May. Given the expense of AI and the poor results, I'm inclined to wait until May, lease a bull to breed five and start over. [/QUOTE]
