[QUOTE="TR, post: 94291, member: 22"] She was live covered by a bull. She went out to him on July 2nd and was just going out of heat at that time. I watched him cover her on July 22nd which would have put her due on April 30, only that's come and gone, and no calf. So, here we are, 4 weeks later, and no calf, so that would mean she didn't take on her 2nd cycle with the bull. Her teats are just now beginning to swell a little bit, so I would say she's at least a month away, as she doesn't seem anywhere close to being 2 weeks away which would have been her 3rd cycle with the bull. So, I would say that it took her til her 4th cycle with the bull for breeding to take. That kind of concerns me, as the bull is proven. That's what I'm hoping...that the move from here out to the bull, 70 miles away and a completely different diet in the middle of the summer had something to do with it. However, I also took 2 other heifers out there with her, and one calved on time, and I'm still waiting on the other one as well as Bubble's. The 2nd one is closer than Bubbles is though. I think you're right, and I should just bring the bull out here for 60 days or so instead of move the cows to him. I just have that feeling that it was all that management stuff that buggered the breeding, and not the heifer. And thanks for the well wishes. She's a favorite of mine if you can tell. :oops: The one calf so far out of this group is doing well. That's the one that Sidney 411 delivered. He's not too framey, but he's chunky, and sure makes me want to eat steak. And thanks, I have to admit, I know about which end of a cow to feed and which end to clean up after. So, if I'm doing things right, then its the direct result of folks like you who patiently answer my questions when what you'd really like to do is roll your eyes and laugh hysterically! [/QUOTE]
