I have a heifer that was AI'd on April 27th on a natural heat. My AI guy said that everything felt normal and felt pretty confident that she should take. I watcher her and another cow starting on about the 13th of May. She was supposed to be in heat on the 18th of May. I watched her until probably the 20th with no signs of heat. I kept her and the other cow in by the barn to watch for another cycle to make sure that I did not miss anything and I started watching a few days before and for a few days after and she showed no signs of heat. Her 21 day cycle would have been on the 8th of June. Yesterday when I got home from work she was at the corner of the lot with my cousin's two bulls and she was balling and the bulls were fighting. I went and checked her out and she wasn't swollen or did she have any discharge. A few hours later she was still acting this way so I let one of the bulls in and he of course rode her. I left them penned up all night together and turned the bull out this morning. But the heifer still has not had any discharge or appeared swollen. I am trying to figure out why she came in heat now and not before and if she was in heat why she didn't show any signs of discharge or anything. I don't know if she could have passed the first breeding or something? She is in a lot right by my barn so I see her quite a bit and she had acted fine until yesterday. Any thoughts would be greatly appriciated! Thanks!
