[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1677326, member: 24816"] I agree with farmerJan, if they were mine I wouldn’t do anything now then at calving time I’d watch them super close around the approximate due date from when the bull was in their. This winter, we calved out some heifers bred to a Hereford bull that was sold as a heifer bull but come to find out he was a result of a fire and ice mating and took more after the higher BW cow. We calved 7 heifers and had to assist 3. A point of interest was that the heifers that were Hereford or high percentage Hereford calved easier and had smaller calves than the others which points me to think the hybrid vigor played a significant role. Most will not agree with me on this but I am not a fan of using Lutalyse and trying to manipulate cycles. It can work when used very early to abort but I’ve had mixed results and don’t try it in our cattle much at all now. [/QUOTE]
