[QUOTE="Amo, post: 1003551, member: 14857"] I did a search and came up with 46 pages to look through. Kinda busy, so just thought Id post my question. Ive got a cow that Im thinking about flushing. 3 years ago she was open. I ran her over the next year. She raised a good calf two years ago, and I kept her over. Then last year she had an awesome calf till mid june. Cows had tubs for supplement. Calf just seamed to stop growing. She is a pretty fleshy cow, and presuming that she lost some of her milking ability. Don't really understand why, but I asked this question before and thats basicly what I gathered. Plus talked to others. So she calved yesterday. Now Im trying to decide weather to keep her around a while and try to flush her since I have a tank or just split the pair up. She is a nice easy (maybe too easy) deep bodied cow. Never done e.t. stuff, but I got a tank with plenty of room. Yes her bag went bad. Proably because of her being too fat. She became too fat because she was open a year. So thats 2 strikes against her, but she could of been open from some other fault than her dna. So how long do I have to wait to get a flush? I know proably at least 32 days if not 60 post calving, but just courious. What kinda expence am I looking at to do this? I know that kinda depends on the success of the flush. What things have I overlooked? The cow had her first calf in 2008. Is she too old to be successfull? Thanks for your imput! :tiphat: [/QUOTE]
