Hi all,
On Tuesday I had the vet out to one of our highland cows who hasn't 'cycled' since calving in June. He inserted a Pridd, which he said needed to stay in for 7 - 10 days, then once withdrawn she should cycle 56 hours later. He suggested that I arrange the AI man for an appointment & then work back so that I remove the Pridd at the right time.
Couple of things I'm not sure about & wonder if one of you could advise me please.
Are there any complications to pulling the Pridd out? Vet advised just to hold the end of the string & pull gently - is it as easy as that?
After 56 hours she should cycle. Normally I watch the cows carefully, see one bulling & contact the AI man, he can come up to a day later & we have had 100% success rate so far. Do I have the usual time period in which to get her AI'd or do we need to be 'bang on' time wise? And if so does anyone know if Genus (AI company) work weekends?
Sorry to be a bit of a numpty
