Opinions on the 5-day CO-Synch + CIDR program

You have to be at about day 11 before you get a CL that will regress.

Here's what I would do, give the bred a shot of Lute, ( I actually prefer Estrumate ), I think that the cow will come in approximately 3 days laters. I would breed her on that heat cycle as I normally would. I don't think that the embryo has attached itself to the uterine wall yet. If you stop to think about it, the pregnancy has taken the place of the cidr.

This could very well work.. worst case you're out 1 unit of semen and the cost of the Technician but you saved the cost of a CIDR/shots

It'll work very well if the pregnancy is not too far along. 3 weeks will have a very good chance of working. I've done it in the past and it worked well.
