[QUOTE="DavisBeefmasters, post: 512388, member: 2263"] Now dun had a thread he titled awhile ago with a similar title that discussed a heat wave and some open cows that didn't settle during the heat so they came up open. I was just going to throw it out there to everyone for how they handle palpation day and is it a different scenario for cows vs. calves... for example: the bull is out for 90 days with the heifers and cows and the bull is then pulled... 1. When does the vet come out to palpate? The following weekend, or wait 30 days? 2. If a cow comes up open and lost her calf for whatever reason (breech, pneumonia, unknown) = cull or 2nd chance? 3. If a cow comes up open and has a calf at the side not yet weaned = cull when calf gets weaned or 2nd chance? 4. If a heifer comes up open = cull or 2nd chance? 5. Typically on replacement heifers, what percentage will be "open" after being exposed for 90 days with the bull? Of course there's a reason I ask, and of course there are different answers depending upon specific conditions... I'm just curious how the members of this board approach the above situations and their experiences. We palpated this past weekend and I am pondering the results. [/QUOTE]
