[QUOTE="wade, post: 271483, member: 3399"] They are were born in 03 and 2 heifers in 05. I bought them this spring and the guy I bought them from said 4 were bred. It turned out 2 were bred and they had nice calves and no problems calving. When I got them I saw one cow that wasnt bred cycle a few times but then quit. I never saw the other cow that wasnt bred cylce while I had her. They are plenty big and I will stop graining them so much. They are just eating pasture and rolled corn and mineral. The cows that have calves on them are not to fat to breed back I dont believe. One of the cows that had a calf has been bred twice, first time around 45 days after calving and then 21 days later. The cow that I talked about in my first post that apparently isnt bred is the other cow with a calf and it was over 60 days post calving that she was bred the first time. Vet had checked her after calving and she was not cystic. I have put some weight on them since this spring when I bought them but did not notice any difference in their heat cycles over this time. Another question I have is when in their heat cycle do they have clear drainage and when should I AI them according to the drainage. If they wont stand for any of the others the only thing I have to go on is the drainage they have. The man I bought them from said that the cows born in 03 all had calves in 05, if he is telling me the truth there is not reason they cant be bred again. I have had all the cows checked by the vet and she said nothing wrong with them. [/QUOTE]
