[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1505607, member: 25884"] By the time they are showing an udder, it is too late to Lute. It can kill them, or at very least, mess up their systems and they usually won't breed back if they do manage to slip it. Giving Lute at a later stage, may very well not cause them to abort, and if they do, they do not dilate right, their system isn't ready to "calve" and it is worse than to let them go full term. My vet is adamant about not aborting when over 5-6 months. Are you sure she didn't just have a fatty udder? I had some 1/4 dairy 3/4 beef heifers that were on some silage and they got some fatty udders over the winter. I had had them preg checked when we bangs vacc because I was a little concerned... but I have seen them in heat since. But they got a bit too fat. I am glad they are out on pasture now, they ought to get rid of some of the fat and just grow. Some heifer calves do just get fattier udders than others if they are fed good. [/QUOTE]
