Heifer Abortions

How late into gestation give abortion meds to heifers?

Had a heifer hit the latter half of May…Putting her at 11-12 months. Potentially could have not taken. But I haven't seen her cycle anymore with my own eyes. This would put her at 3.5 months into gestation potentially. Initially I was all for the roll of the dice…had a 50/50 on feedback.
Neighbor's lost one yesterday. Exact same situation. Bred at a year. She died because the calf died within her and rotted her insides up.

I'm right about the 100 day mark. Maybe a week past.

Is it too late to abort without hurting the girl?

As long as you give both lute and dex I would go ahead and try to abort her.

My vet always said 3 weeks to 3 months I would try it

Anyone have success with 3-4 month gestation abortions?

Kinda got myself in a pickle, at least in my head.

Wish I would have listened to you guys/gals that told me to abort in May. Instead i listened to the 50% saying it MIGHT be ok.

Next time.

Thanks a bunch
