[QUOTE="okiek, post: 1504011, member: 32214"] I've consulted 3 people who should be knowledgeable on this issue and got 3 answers I'll post below. Thought I'd throw the issue out here and see what I get from you all. I AI'd heifers through COBA Select Sires to an RA Brown Red Angus bull yesterday. Those heifers are slotted to be moved to a pasture for the summer roughly 100 miles away. I asked the COBA guy who did an awesome job for me on insemination his thought on how long to wait (If any) before hauling these heifers. He seemed unsure, so I put a call in to a neighbor who manages close to 1000 head and does AI. No answer so I called my cow vet and asked him. He gave me his definitive opinion which differed from the COBA rep. Immediately, the neighbor called back and gave me his opinion which was different from the other two. That being said, The neighbor seemed most certain, with studies he didn't have time to share to back his opinion. Here are the three opinions: 1- Wait 2 weeks to let them ovulate and settle 2- Wait 24 hours then haul them 3-I should wait 42 days but definitely don't move them in two weeks which will be the most fragile time. If I can't afford to wait 42 days, I'd be better to move them pretty immediately because two weeks will be a critical time for attatchment of the fetus. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
