[QUOTE="dun, post: 716869, member: 34"] Not by any chance born twin to a bull was she? Heifers can occasioanlly have enough hormones to be in heat but either not ovulate a viable egg or have enough hormones to maintain the pregnancy. My old mentor refered to them as "functionally freemartins". Before I went too crazy about it I would have her preg checked. I hhave one cow that every 17 days if she's bred or not still attracts a lot of attention and acts strangely. Since her heat cycles year after year have been 17 days I figured she just has a hornmone issue that allows her to still exude some hornmones even when she's with calf. [/QUOTE]
