[QUOTE="Double R Ranch, post: 1593704, member: 411"] Update on the Holstein this post was about. First off thank you very much to all who commented! This heifer has been on custom feed for about a month now. She was due to cycle Wednesday if she was in and didn’t take when she was TAI’d. She’s in standing heat this PM. So the short 5 day sync looks like that would have done the trick and the extra feed/nutrition has allowed for a shown standing heat. We’ve decided that it’s just too hot to be breeding her at this point in the year (113* today) and the added feed cost is silly for a non productive “future” nurse cow. We will loose our wallet if we take her to market so we’re looking into our options but we’ve decided one way or another she will go. I’ve settle Holsteins fine before. This one stumped me and it has been quite a while since I’ve bred one. Definitely never had to pour the feed to one to get it to breed. Will be looking into options for a nurse cow in the future but the smartest thing at this point is to cut our losses. We have a fair amount of $ into her and she’s rather wild considering she’s halter broke and all. Again! Thank you all for the advice and suggestions! Much appreciated! [/QUOTE]
