[QUOTE="wade, post: 568322, member: 3399"] I have 11 head of Red Angus I am trying to get bred this year. 5 heifers and 6 cows that are between 3 and 5 years of age that all had calves last year. I have done synchronizing in the past with limited results. I thought I finally had everyone bred until yesterday, one of my nicer cows that has had 2 calves came up to eat with blood on her tail. The hired man checks them every morning and keeps a good eye on them during the day. We never saw her ride nor be ridden or any bawling or anything. I have a one year old steer with this bunch of cattle and he isnt much of a heat detector. We have bred a few this year on just mucus (drainage) and a few showed real strong heats and were later AI'd. A couple I gave 7cc's of prostamate to get them cycling and that worked good. I am really getting tired of wondering if they are bred and heat detecting every day. I will have them palpated at 60 days after I believe everyone is bred. Thinking of just getting a good bull and let him do the work. Everyone have this problem with heat detection. These cows are in good shape and nothing wrong with them that I know. I believe the weather has alot to do with heat detection. [/QUOTE]
