Aborting Calves

[diioriocattle]

I have some cows that I recently bought they are all short breds probably 2-5 months and I want to put embryos in in may. So what should I give them in order to abort them, probably around 15. Was thinking 5CC of LUTALYSE but I don't know if that's enough.

Thanks

We have used lutalyse it works well

I doubt you'll successfully abort those 5+ with 5cc of lute--    maybe estrumate and dexamethasone but you should call your vet

For the 2 months, 5cc lute & 10 cc dex should do the trick

This may sound stupid but at the cost of feeders calves it may not be so bad to calve them out. Wean early and sell. I get it will push back theses embryos but seems silly to me.

They are shorter than five id say around 3 at maximum. When I looked at them again calves probably aren't 2 months old on most. Not silly in my mind when I can market the calves for nearly 4 times what they bring at the sale barn at 350 lbs.
