Lutalayse

I was wondering how long a heifer can be along in calf that lutalayse will work to abort the calf?

Phone your vet.  They might answer the question over the phone ?

Lute by itself up to 120 days. After that you may want to add some cortisol with it and will need to pay some attention to your heifers/cows for some slight risk of troubles with increasing risks as the females get further along in gestation.

my vet suggest before 90 days.  If after that, you could get a mummy easier and that is difficult to remove.

Gus is right, I had that very thing happen.  Made a mummy and could not get it out of the cow.  Ended up culling her when all I wanted to do was get rid of the pregnancy.....big mistake.

Any advantage to useing Estrumate over Lutalyse?

In my opinion yes, aborted 6 head a couple years back, had two doses of Estrumate and did the rest with Lute.  They were all 30-60 days the two that were Estrumated aborted the four that were Luted all had happy healthy babies a month after they were put out to pasture.  Take it for what its worth but I'll never use anything but Estrumate again, even if it costs a little bit more.

Can estrumate be used farther along in the pregnancy then lut?
