When using heat detect patches on heifers we seem to get into some confusing situtations. There are a couple different types:
"Party Girl" - she shows heat whenever some one else does, we try to clue off palpitation
"Early Bird" - she shows heat, and then shows it again a day or two later, we usually re bred
"Shy One" - she shows only light patch scratching but then stands for the bull 3 weeks later
Any insight on what is going on here, and how would you handle "Early Bird" ? Would you turn her out with the bull after 24 hours?
