not all that uncommon for the first month after calving.  Will take atleast that long for the repro tracts to heal up and shrink back down.  Then will take a couple of weeks to a month for that first heat to get things back going again-- which is why it's recommended to re-breed 45-60 days after calving-- takes that long to get back to 'normal'.

i was surprised to find this out but the reason it takes so long to come back in heat really isn't for the repro parts to heal. its the hypothalamus that needs time to rejuvenate.
