Overdue Recip

[Trixie Club Calves]

I have 3 conventional embryo transfer calves this year. They were all due on March 14th. We had one born on the 11th, a heifer, 90lbs. The second one was born the 15th. He was at least 110 and had to be pulled and did not come out easy to say the least.

The third Recip still hasn't calved. I know some people who induce recips right around there due date, and some who just let them go on there own time. I'm just worried with how big this last dude was that the next one will be even bigger. What's everyone's thoughts on having her induced or not?

I had one go 12 days to long and they did end up educing her, in hind sight should have been induced right after her due date. Hard pull and took everything they had to get the calf up and going.

That’s what worry about with her. Especially with how big the bull calf was that was only 1 day overdue.

What did you use to induce?

I did not do it, the person who managed the recips did it,
