[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 362801, member: 2308"] Exactly, if she hasn't at least started to show, then there is no point to inducing labour. You will either end up with a LOT of work (trying to save the calf) or simply a dead calf. Unless you AI'd her and she was never with a bull again you cannot be sure she is actually due on that date. Some cows will show for 2 full cycles. We have one right now, she was observed bred to calf Mar 8 AND she was showing before that date. However, she never progressed enough to calve on the date and has not calved yet. She could have possibly missed the first AND second cycle, and not calve until the end of April. She is overdue to the second cycle now, but I do believe she will calve in the next few days as she is developing more and more. I don't think it is very often that cows go overdue to the point that they need to be induced. [/QUOTE]
