[QUOTE="Dsth, post: 1807711, member: 38038"] I like to walk through the herd early in the morning when it is dark out just to look for a mucus discharge when they are laying down. easy to see with reflection of the flashlight. then I watch for the normal signs of heat (smelling other cows, trying to ride, in a group with others riding, increased bawling, anything that is unusual I guess.) I use heat detector patches since I also work 10 hour days off farm. I have about 25-35 cows and synchronize first group that are 50 days or more post calving. I try to synchronize next group 3 weeks after first to help catch cows that did not settle. very seldom breed TAI and do my own AIing. I watch for a bloody discharge on cows that did not show signs of heat. If I see that I will sync with next group and TAI if no signs of heat which is not very often. hope some of my techniques help you in your herd as well. good luck [/QUOTE]
