Calves?
Posted: Saturday 17 September, 2011
Well, it looks like (touch wood) our two heifers are in calf. Breeze was AI'd on 15th August with Stanemore Odin; 21 days was 5th September and she's showed no sign of bulling again. Blizzard was AI'd on 28th August with Hengae Fearsome; 21 days was yesterday and, as far as I know (they're running with the bull now), she's not come back into season either.
IF they are in calf, Breeze is due 25th May and Blizzard on 7th June.
Now I have to decide when to bring them home. Do I leave them with the bull for another full cycle for Blizzard, which takes us to 9th October, bring them home after Breeze has the opportunity to come into season with the bull, which takes us to about 1st October or do I trust that I haven't missed Breeze on 5th September and Viking hasn't missed Blizzard this weekend and bring them home at the end of the week.

They are due a TB test, so I'll have them scanned at the same time - save a call out charge. Of course as soon as we know, we'll let you know so you can get the knitting needles out

Corrie Dhu has suggested that I get the vet to PD them there. They have to stay for 13 days anyway, which takes us to 24th anyway. I'll have a word with the vet tomorrow.

Better safe than sorry - I'd leave them with the bull till they've both had a chance to return.
