Will a free martin cycle ? (show signs of heat)
Will a bull still mount her (with penatration) ? (if she stands)

They do look like they are heavy bred... but they have never been with a bull. I just put the bull with them about three months ago. I saw him smell one but he did not do the lip thing. No interest at all. Guess time will tell.cowboyup216":pu6o655n said:Have you had them palpated to see if they are pregnant? That could be why they arent in heat. Could have possibly gotten bred to early.

I hope that is what is going on ( the midnight dates ) when I am not watching.dun":1a5pxq1h said:ROCKSPRINGS":1a5pxq1h said:Thanks, The reason I ask is because I have two Beefmaster heifers about 18 months old who show no signs of heat , also my Beefmaster bull (13 months old) shows no interest in them.
I must have had a bunch of immaculate conceptions this year based on the lack of visual sings (to me) and the bull not mounting them.
Unless you have a mount detector or watch every one of them 24/7 there isn;t any way to know if the bull is doing his job or the heifers cycling. Not until calves start hitting the ground anyway.
As was recommended, have them palpated.
A bull will mount anything that stands, maybe even a pickup if you leave it parked long enough.
