Monday 5th September was 21days from Breeze's last AI. Her last cycle was 23 days, so my fingers are still crossed, but she is quiet so far.

Through the SCBA, I have the opportunity to take them both to another member to run with a young bull called Collafirth Viking. Our girls will be going up at the end of the week to run with him for 4 weeks or so. Blizzard, if she hasn't held to 2nd AI, will come back into heat around the 15th / 16th / 17th September.

He's such a handsome fellow, I almost hope she gets in calf to him - but simply a calf would be good.

The breeder they are going to has bought a bull calf to use on her herd next year and she has kindly agreed to allow us to use him too. Hopefully, the "real thing" will do the trick.
