We set up a group of TAI cows on May 29th, and on the 31st I put KAMAR patches on the whole group as a way to identify who came back into heat (I'm living/working over an hour from home for the summer, and there's no one I can count on to reliably heat check even once daily). Two of the group came into heat on either Monday or Tuesday this week (12th or 13th). We didn't try breeding because that was as far as we could narrow it down and I didn't want to waste the semen.

My question is when would be best to start them on another TAI protocol? My best guess is start a 7 day CIDR in 2 weeks, but that's just based on the idea of breeding roughly 3 weeks after this heat. Sadly a herd bull is out of the question for numerous reasons for the forseeable future.

If you wait until the 24th, then that will be 11 days past latest date and you can give them a shot of estrumate then and not have to do a cidr.
