[QUOTE="aggietexan, post: 1700263, member: 42046"] not yet but close.... Look for the Vaginal area to become more relaxed. May even drip mucous and just like beef cattle she will start standing off by herself if she is with any other cattle. Bag is beginning to fill up. So far looks good.. I have raised cattle for 40 years. I kept up with some calving dates on show heifers since they are usually fat to begin with but on my commercial cattle they were left to fend for themselves (unless small first time cavers). Looking at the condition she was in I doubt very seriously she was bred. Nature shuts down the reproductive cycle until the body condition is good enough to breed. Same in any mammals. So it really depends on when the weight gain brought her back into heat. I would best guess say your bull bred her very soon when you turned him in. But again, I'm not there to see what you see. Just watch for the calving signs and you will be okay. [/QUOTE]
