Standing Heat...Bleed off

[CKC1586]

Question:
About three days after standing heat a bleed off occurs, does this mean the egg is being shed??? Or, does this simply mean that the heifer was in standing heat in the previous days???
Opinions?

Not exactly sure what you're asking, but a while back I had a group of cows I was sure got bred after standing heat, but many bled off. I did some research and found that something like 70% of cows that get bred still bleed off. In short, bleed off is certainly a sign that an animal is in heat, but is not an indicator of whether or not conception has taken place. If you do a search on this topic you'll find a research paper I found on this subject attached to the thread.

It is a sign that ovulation has taken place, nothing more nothing less.

But it will be asked and answered again in a month or 2.

Given the time of year more likely a day or two.

Ops, sorry if this was previously covered.... I have heard a few opinions and was wondering what views I would get from my friends at CT. I had been told and was under the impression that it was shedding of the egg, obviously... not necessarily true. Thanks Knersie. (MM too ;-) I appreciate the info!)

Was it in the Breeding Calving Board? I did a search on "bleed off" and didn't find it.

Do a search for ovulation, should get a bunch of hits
