[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 11209"] The single cow is always the hardest to catch in heat. The mucus flow is and isn't a good sign to use as heat detection. Young heifers frequently will skip heats when they first get started cycling. If you are still having problems catching he in heat after she is 12/13 months you might consider one of the synch protocols and time breed. dun > My calf is about 9 months old.
