[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 154559, member: 852"] OK folks, this is an area I haven't dealt with much. I have a heifer that I *believe* was in heat on the 20th...puts her back in around the 10th. I'd like to breed her on that cycle, that is, if I can figure out [i]when [/i]she's in and don't miss it completely. She's in a pen with two other heifers so she does have herd mates that would attempt to ride her. I have marking paint I can put on her tailhead. I'm just a little concerned...if I remember right, they're only in standing heat for what, 8 hours max? what's the chance I'm going to completely miss seeing her in? I feed around 6-7am, and then again 5-6pm, which is about 12 hours in between feedings...? When she comes in, if I can catch her in standing heat or just coming in I can simply halter her and take her for a little walk to go visit the neighbor's bull for the day. :lol: If it wasn't such a drastic feed change I might leave her over there for the whole week and not worry about seeing her in heat or not. I'd recognize standing heat, but I'm not sure about when they're coming in or going out...how do I tell which way she's going? If I miss standing heat, then what? don't you AI 12 hours after a cow is seen in standing heat? I could give my vet a call and ask him to come out and AI her for me, if I know when she was in standing heat. Anyone able to shed some light on this for me? suggestions? Thanks- [/QUOTE]
