[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1549294, member: 968"] In a herd that has no calving SEASON, yes, you can just wait for a heat. Sooner or later, they will show a good heat. Most of us cannot afford heat detection technology - but we are all drooling over you having it!! It is not cost effective in the real world of cow/calf operations. I keep a 63 day calving season. My cows generally are cycling 30-35 days after calving. Cows/heifers that calve the 1st 2 weeks of our "season", have had at least 1 heat (usually 2-3) when it is time to start breeding. Those that calve in the last 2 weeks, may get bred on their first heat. If that first heat is less than 30 days, I usually pass on that heat & lutalyse them. [/QUOTE]
