[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 518987, member: 852"] Well... one heifer is cycling, but who knows about the others. If you have them palpated you'd know if the group is even cycling; it's kind of a waste of time and money to try breeding heifers that aren't cycling. If it's a nutritional reason and they're past puberty but not cycling and have no CL... it means a minimum of 30-40 days to wait even the nutritional program is changed immediately. It'd also be good to make sure they all have complete reproductive tracts; if there's a freemartin it's nice to know before any more money is spent on her. I'd still recommend having them palpated... but then that's just my thoughts. I have most everything palpated prior to breeding. Heifers usually get palpated at purchase and again when it's time to breed if I haven't seen them cycle or if they're getting Lute. Cows get checked prior to breeding to make sure they're open, clean, and cycling. I've found it to save me time and money in the long run. JMO. [/QUOTE]
