    I have a dairy heifer that I injected with estrumate twice and never came in heat. She is 14 months old and around 380 kg. I bought her in early May. Would it be worth using prid on her at this stage or should I get her scanned to see if there is a problem with her? If there is a problem with her will I have any come back as she was sold fit for breeding?

    I presume she's definitely not a half twin to a bull?

    I hope not. She was ai'd at 72 hours after second injection but the ai man said she definitively wasn't on heat.
