I know next year dad will induce stuff that is over due on his spring break.  We lost a calf because the heifer had it exactly at the wrong time of day, the first day he was back at school, the only day I was unable to check mid day, and the coldest day out of ten...  The first day he had to go back to school after nine day spring break......  This spring we will shoot for the middle of his spring break, and induce two days after due date on stuff we KNOW stuck......  Also hopefully have two pure reds due over Christmas break next dec/jan.  they will likely be induced New Year's Day.  We are not against it, I think dad was just waiting till Friday after school but she had it Thursday.

The outfit we get our calves from had 8 recipes with the embryos from the same flush, after the first 2 cows calfed naturally 3 days past their due date, one hard pull, dead calf the other a c- section, he induced the rest 4 to 5 days prior to their due date. Those 6 turned out a whole bunch easier, 2 needed assistance but nothing like the first 2.
