How funny...I haven't been on the boards in ages, and what to I find when I stop in for a bit? THE topic I needed and recent too!
'Fraid the same situation is going on over here, only it was the next door neighbor's bull who came visiting this morning as opposed to Miss Thang going over there. Either way, the result was the same; an unplanned breeding. Since I can't get her up to the breeder til September, and really don't want to mess with heat cycles and the neighbor's bull between now and then, I was planning on waiting until the end of August (about what, 4 weeks?) to Lute her and bring her in. From the literature I've been reading, there's about a 90% success rate for terminating pregnancy with Lute between day 7 and 70? Does that sound right? The breeder however, said to hit her in 3 weeks then lock her up for 3 days so that when she did come in there'd be an extra fence between her and the neighbor's bull.. What I'm curious about is, is there a "more" successful time to terminate than others, and if so, what is that time frame? Its not that I don't like the neighbor's bull....its just that we're seedstock on our side of the fence, and he's...well, he's not of the same "seed". :lol2:
