[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 946085, member: 18809"] Wow, bad luck! A shot of Lute when she came home would have prevented that. Hopefully she mends quickly and you can get her bred back if you decide to keep her. I'd go back to the breeder and file a complaint. You bought her open, so you should not have to deal with these problems! We bought a bred heifer that had a train wreck of a birth (110 pound bull calf that DOA and had to be pulled) and the breeder replaced the heifer with a new one. And we got to keep the check for the one that went to town (she was down for two weeks, pinched nerve, so we shipped her). We raise Simmentals, and MOST of the heifers in the herd will have a cycle by the time they are 7 months old, and many at 6! We AI everything, so we do not have to worry about accidental bull breedings, thank gosh! Now, we have a registered Pioneer Angus heifer that is one year old this month and she has yet to cycle. I have been watching her closely for several months, and nothing. Our Simms must calve by the time they are 24 months old, hoping to keep this Angus heifer in the same window. We will start our fall AI the week of Thanksgiving, and she will be one of the first. [/QUOTE]
