Abort Injection

adne

I have a young heifer that is gone in calf to a stock bull for 6 weeks...

I want to give her an injection to get her to abort, how soon should I do this? Will this cause her any future fertility problems

one big push

u can give her an injection to abort up to 3 and half months but about 2 months is ideal....will have no problem getting her incalf again...if u like u could put her in shed for about 6 days after injection and u should see a blood discharge from her to confirm she aborts

i did that about 4 years ago..injected 3 heifers...that got incalf by mistake,error! all 3 calved,never worked! mayb i got them too early--was unsure how far 2 of them had gone...think 1 was maybe 6weeks gone...

Yes you can do this but talk to your vet first.

think the vet has to administer this stuff himself these days, pretty sure they wont give it to you over the counter
