[QUOTE="TR, post: 94162, member: 22"] Thanks Chuckie, and I have to agree with you. I've got two more heifers left to calve out out of 6, and they've all been different with their springing. The waiting's enough to drive one to drink too! :D Maybe I read the post wrong, but I thought there was reference to how you could tell when a heifer had been bred or should I say covered, and how they'll stand all hunched up just after breeding. The heifer in the pic had just been covered about a half hour before the pic was taken, so I thought that maybe a pic would help illustrate the "just after" look they have after being bred. Now, whether the breeding takes is a whole 'nother story. That particular breeding did take, and she calved this April right on time according to that breeding date. However, I do have another heifer here that I watched being bred too, and I'm still waiting for a calf. According to the breeding date I observed, she should have calved around the end of April. Obviously that breeding that I watched didn't take, nor did the next one, and I have my doubts as to whether the one after THAT took too! By her signs, she looks to be a month to 6 weeks away from calving, and she's in great condition. Actually, she's bordering on obese. An extremely easy keeper, that one, and like you said, its been very difficult to tell if she's pregnant because of her condition. So you're right again, just because they've been covered doesn't necessarily mean the breeding took. [/QUOTE]
