[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 796152, member: 5106"] We abort every year and every year it works with our system (touch wood) no early unwanted pregnancies . Because my heifers come into heat sometimes as early as 3 months they all get 2 cc's of estrumate and 12 cc's of dex a week after they have been separated from the bulls and bull calves . Some come into heat within 3 days of the injections but most end up aborting a fetus . They all breed back on schedule when we start AI'ing in April or run them with the clean up bull. This year because of scheduling conflicts they were aborted later than I like and we had a record percentage of heifers that had been bred. I have seen all have a regular heat after aborting so I hope that we do not have any fertility complications come next spring .I am thinking of estrumating them all again 21 - 25 days before we start to AI just to be sure that they are on schedule. My vet prefers Estrumate too, he said it is more effective than lute, so I do believe that drugs vary depending on the country of origin as our laws and regulations are all different . You have to get these from a vet anyways so the best thing to do is talk to them about a plan that will work best for your herd . [/QUOTE]
