What Would you conclude?

[Bright Raven]

Heifer that has been cycling since 9 months old:
Recorded Observed Heats:
October 3
October 22; Interval 19 days
November 9; Interval 18 days
November 30; Interval 21 days

Bred 7:30 AM December 1

Passed first 21 days with no activity.

Morning of December 28 Today:
Hair matted and chalk mostly gone.
Another cow that was on a 7 day protocol involving a CIDR was in heat. These two where engaged in a "takes two to tango". I expected the other cow in heat but it raised my concern that this heifer was so involved.

How would you process this information?

wait and see if she comes back in

You could pull a blood test. I believe they are accurate for 30 days bred

That is what I will do. At 30 days I can pull a sample. If she came back in, it is out of order with her pattern which suggests early embryonic death. Her vulva was also pink and moist. But no mucus. I always see mucus a day before estrus behavior. I am about 50 % in the camp that she lost her pregnancy. Which rarely happens here.

Blood test may not work if she stuck and aborted.
invest in some patches Ron, me personally I don't like chalk, but if that patch turns bright all over breed her, now if she is bred that cervix will be sticky and you can tell, I had 2 do me that way at once, couldn't pass the rod but I didn't use a lot of force. they calved perfect to first breeding. if the rod guides right through place it!!!!

Here is something. I saw her laying like she was ill about 8 or 9 days ago. I just passed over it. But she had that look.

I didn't know that about the blood sample.
