[QUOTE="Herefordcross, post: 228528, member: 3860"] THis must be turning into a nationwide thing. A couple of years ago we bought 15 bred heifers all due to calve in March/ April, AI ed heifers, black angus. This guys vet gave me a copy of his paper work, tag #, weight, shot history, also stated how far along bred, they evidentally use lutalyse and then breed them in bunches or something. But, anyway first calf hit the ground in December, rest were done calving by Feb. the 15th. It was cold here, very cold for our part of the country. We ended up emptying the shop strawing the floor hung torpedo heaters from the ceiling and put about six heifers in the shop to calve. It was right around zero here and we had just come out of fifty degree weather so you know what kind of shock it was on those heifers. Since then I will not buy bred cattle, when we buy "open" heifers we give them lutalyse, after pregnancy checking to make sure there aren't any six month old calves in the girls or something like that that would really screw 'em up if we aborted them. And then we breed 'em when we want to. Last night I bought two "open" Limis for my uncle at a sale, vet swung by today, guess what one is about six months along! And the sale barn vet "checked them both" wait until I get on the phone monday and start chewing their a$$es! [/QUOTE]
