heifer jumping

leoch

i served a heifer 12 days ago i noticed another heifer following and jumping her this morning but she wasnt interested and kept dunting her away,as i am new to this serving heifers could it mean that the heifer doing the following and jumping could be coming on for bulling and say the one that was served if she comes back on could it be before the three weeks is up or on exactyl three weeks and after hope u can make sence of this question and any tips and help would be great

I would say its the other heifer thats coming into heat, 12 days is early, usually 17 to 24 days to have repeats. Keep an eye on the other heifer, thats a sign of heat. Others may have different experiences with days though.

Spot on Jeff.
But just about anything is possible!
Record keeping around bulling time is a great management tool.

I had a cow that the bull would serve every 7 to 10 days for 3 months last year! I presumed that she would not be in calf but the scan showed otherwise.

Although I bought straws of FL22 for heifers, the AI man forgot them a couple of times and we used ODZ so I'm in the same boat as yourself.
Thinking about it now there is the chance that said heifers repeated and FL22 was then used. I may check the statement from Eurogene nearer to calving to be sure, or the calendar at home!
