Due Dates

[simmi1133]

When you detect a cow in heat and you want to put in an egg you do it a week after she was in heat. When determining her due date, do u go by the day she was in standing heat or the day that the egg was put in?

embryo implantation is 7 days after standing heat. You need to figure the due date to her heat date, like any other pregnancy. The embryo is 7 days old when it is put in, so it coincides with the recip hormone cycle. The recip's egg will die (no fertilization), and the embryo will hopefully take its place if all goes well.

Exactly, to figure out the due date, you basically just back up 3 months from implantation date. That will get u pretty close.  (thumbsup)
