[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1460785, member: 25884"] Getting her checked is the most sensible thing. She could be cystic, our old vet used to call them yellow bodies also. Cystic does not mean they will come in heat weekly or often, sometimes they actually stop coming in heat. A dead calf, mummified will stop all cycling and can cause some problems, and sometimes they just sit with this lump in there for a long time. There are also some that will cycle regularly and just never settle. Had a dairy farm that the kids bought a reg hol heifer for show. Their third or fourth to show. She came in heat like clockwork. Bred 4-5 times AI. Used a cidr, did synch breeding with lut etc. NOTHING. So they asked if we would run her with one of our bulls one summer when they went to pasture. Sure, no problem. She came in heat saw him breed her.....comes back in heat, bred again. Comes back in heat, goes across the fence to the neighbors bull.....comes back about 2 months later....in heat again. Then nothing, so we figured....finally. NOPE, they take her home when we moved cattle and caught her up, preg chk and OPEN. Couldn't find one thing wrong physically. Don't know if they ever did any blood testing.... she was a very expensive cull cow. All but one of 30 of our cows wound up preg so we know our bull was good. It happens. Hopefully yours will turn out better. [/QUOTE]
