[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1393754, member: 25884"] One way to be more sure if they are being bred is to put a heat detector on them. ABS and Select sires both have a detector that goes on the cow above her tailhead. When the bull (or even other cows) mount them, it changes color, and you can at least tell if they are cycling that way. I use them alot on cows that I really want to see if they are cycling, especially ones that I never seem to see in heat. Costs a couple of dollars each, but cheap easy way to see if they are active. Not a guarantee they are bred, but at least the for ones that you haven't seen during the day, it is a good indicator that they are being mounted during the night. [/QUOTE]
