It's kind of funny that this year the 4 we've done so far haven;t had any slime when we bred them. One was just going out of standing heat and she was still a dry hole. But all of their cervixes were wide openANAZAZI":21f1xlno said:I suppose he is referring to the stuff that comes from under thev tail when the cow is cykling.
I agree in that case; albeit I never had cows AI:ed until forty days after calving.

What did the sheath look like when you pulled it out ? Was it clean as a whistle or was it schmangy and dirty ? When I moved my calving season up by 3 months we AI'd a few on first heat after calving and the ones that were clean usually caught and the odd dirty one did as well. Sure like to give them that first heat though to get all the remnants from calving out of them and have a better embryo attachment. I have had a cow abort late term and surmise it was because she was bred on her first heat after calving and did not have a strong attachment of the embryo ? :?
