Anyone ever see this before. Buddies heifer will not let the bull or any bull mount her in the last 2 years. Insight?
 
Maybe she's just not that into bulls? Or she was raised very conservatively and protected from the evils of the outside world? Anyway the solution is to broaden her horizons by taking her on a roadtrip.
 
Neighbor had one he bought at the sale barn that would not entertain.
By the time she was 2 1/2 and unbred she looked like a bull.
Figured freemartin.
 
This one looks normal and shows a heat, just runs away when a bull tries to mount her.

Maybe you just need a faster bull....get a Jersey. :lol2: They just will not accept "NO" as an answer.

Tell him to spend the bucks for the freemartin blood test.
 
Might call angus cowman and put her with that "queer bull from Arkansas" that he was talking about in another post

Sounds like she has decided she wants to be freezer beef!!! Be just the right age for some good eating....
 
The only cow in a small Tennessee town stopped giving milk. The people did some research and found that they could buy a cow just across the state line in Kentucky for $200. They bought the cow from Kentucky and the cow was wonderful. It produced lots of milk all of the time, and the people were pleased and very happy. They decided to acquire a fine bull to mate with the cow and produce more cows like it. They would never have to worry about their milk supply again.

They bought the bull and put it in the pasture with their beloved cow. However, whenever the bull came close to the cow, the cow would move away. No matter what approach the bull tried, the cow would move away from the bull and he could not succeed in his quest.

The people were very upset and decided to ask the Vet, who was very wise, what to do. They explained to the Vet what was happening. "Whenever the bull approaches our cow, she moves away. If he approaches from the back, she moves forward. When he approaches her from the front, she backs off. And if he approaches from the side, she walks away to the other side."

The Vet thought about this for a minute and asked, "Did you by chance, buy this cow in Kentucky?" The people were dumbfounded, since no one had ever mentioned where they bought the cow. "You are truly a wise Vet," they said. "How did you know we got the cow in Kentucky?" The Vet replied with a distant look in his eye, "My wife is from Kentucky."

Don't kid yourself Kentucky doesn't have the market cornered on those. :help: ;-)
 
Lucky_P's story reminded me of a story my dad just forwarded me in an email. Hopefully the ladies on this board will forgive me one day...

My wife and I went to the state fair and one of the
first exhibits we stopped at was the breeding bulls.
We went up to the first pen and there was a sign attached that said,
'THIS BULL MATED
50 TIMES LAST YEAR'
My wife playfully nudged me in the ribs...
smiled and said, 'He mated 50 times last year.'
We walked to the second pen which had a sign attached that said,
''THIS BULL MATED
150 TIMES LAST YEAR'
My wife gave me a healthy jab and said, 'WOW~~That's almost three times a week!.....You could learn a lot from him.'
We walked to the third pen and it had a sign
attached that said, in capital letters,
'THIS BULLMATED
365 TIMES LAST YEAR'
My wife was so excited that her
elbow nearly broke my ribs,
and said, 'That's once a day.
You could REALLY learn
something from this one.'
I looked at her and said,
'Go over and ask him if it
was with the same old cow
every time.'
 
What about the cow being sore in some way? Maybe bad foot or leg injury and it hurts when mounted? Can you try AI before giving up on her?
