We sold our bull earlier in the year with the intention of no longer keeping a bull, and instead only AIing our cows. Because we had ran a bull for so many years, our calves have been spread out over a 5-6 month period each year. So since we would like them all to calve around the same time again, we have been waiting for our last few cows to calve before breeding them all at the same time.
Today I look out and the neighbor's below average brahman cross bull is in our pasture after our best cow who produces our top selling calf each year. I can only assume be probably got the deed done since she always breeds back on her first heat after calving. We want registered calves since the majority of our calves are sold to local Ag Students to be shown throughout the year.
What is the best way to ensure this pregnancy does not stick? How soon can we/do we need to do something to terminate any chance of her staying pregnant?
Thanks
