I have a hereford cow that will not carry a calf to term. I'm quite embarrassed to say that she has not calved in 2 years. She will cycle, the bull will service her and she will come back in heat in about 4 months. My herd is disease free and my bull is quite competent. I even tried AI ing her to no avail. Any opinions on a solution shy of shipping her?
She is no heavier than the rest of the herd. They get no grain and live on hay in the winter and native grass. They always have mineral and during calving season and breeding season they get VitaFerm. Vet has checked her, says everything "feels" right and fine.
I'm open to suggestions.
Have thought of flushing her, just to see if that will jump start her. Have also thought of putting an embryo in her to see if she will carry it to term. Have not done any blood work...what tests do you think should be run, if any?
