[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 516956, member: 539"] No, I would not give Lute. I've got a problem with aborting heifers - I'm not comfortable with it, because I believe it can do more harm than good, and I'm not willing to take that chance. You stated that these are yearling heifers - so, if they did settle, they would calve at 19 months. That is old enough to be viable. No, it is not ideal, but is is viable. We've had a few heifers calve at 12-13 months of age with no problems, and they went on to become members of the herd with no problems. I would just watch these heifers, and be prepared to give the neccessary support should they prove to be pregnant. [/QUOTE]
