[QUOTE="highvoltagecattleco, post: 537819, member: 6225"] BINGO!!! There's your problem. First off, what are you doing using a garbage bull like that? He should have been a steer a long time ago. For future reference, if your going to lease a bull. Have a breeding soundness exam done on him. Especially on a runt that you say has no condition. If your not able to see the cattle come into heat. Buy some K-mars on put them on top of the heifers or cows hips. Once they have been mounted it turns red. Here's my suggestion take it or leave it. Contact a semen company and have a tech come out and AI your girls. You will know its been done, with a decent bull. Another thing to keep in mind. You are breeding two year old heifers. Most likely they have been cycling for over a year now. Some cows hormones will really ramp down because they have not been exposed to a bull. You may need more than one cycle for them to come into a strong enough heat. You have a few things working against you. Especially a poor sire choice. They say a bull represents half your herd. A guy I know who's smarter than me. Said its more like 75% as the years go by. Your choice today affects multiple generations. [/QUOTE]
