[QUOTE="ptnew, post: 636329, member: 9966"] Thanks to everyone for their comments. I am feeling better about her not being pregnant actually....I am leaning more towards the "potbelly" idea. We have done quite a bit of reading and research about Longhorns before we started out on this adventure and we too were under the impression that they were not mature so to speak until 7or 8 months of age. Our vet deals with dairy cattle, and does not have much experience with Longhorns, and she pretty much reamed us out for being careless. We have 5 animals total, 2 steer, a cow with her bull calf(only 5 months old) and our "little" heifer. One of the steer we banded in September, when our heifer was about 6 months old, but we never saw any "activity" although, those are private moments...lol. The vet told us we were careless and will learn from our mistake and as you can imagine, only added to our/my remorse. The breeder we got them from also mentioned that she was far to immature to become pregnant........with that said, I am hoping she recovers somewhat and grows once the weather improves. I did not know that lute , by itself would not work.....wouldn't we have seen something ...some sort of progress? I will post a picture of her this coming weekend. Thanks again to everyone.
