Our new heifer was back tagged and planned to breed as soon as she showed heat. Husband called me yesterday and said that her tag was rubbed at about 50% and she had ooze on her back end/hip.
She should have cycled once already since we had her. We thought maybe we just missed her last one. So, we bred her this time. Some just don’t show heat like others. Never saw her stand but we have so many cows anyway, it’s hard to physically observe them all.
Well, he went in to AI her. Couldn’t find her cervix. He thought she actually felt heavy bred but he isn’t comfortable palpitating. So, he got back out. We have vet palpating our Fall herd this Monday. So we’ll have them make that determination on her.
She turned 1 in January. We bought her just about a month ago. She’s such a lovely girl. I like her more and more, every time I see her. I’m concerned if she’s heavy bred. I’ve seen resulting calves from very young heifers before and they’re stunted. Not to mention what it must do to them.
Heading to our embryologist later. Gonna poke his brain. Don’t want to haul her, we have a trailer full.
I’m going to be heartbroken either way. Hoping she just didn’t feel right but I’m guessing this isn’t going to be good.
