Seen a thread on another internet discussion forum that talked about CIDR's. Was interested in trying it on a cow that is nearly 2 months behind the rest of the cows when she calves. Havent really being able to bring her forward from year to year. last year I nearly got her down by 3 weeks but she repeated on me. Wonder could I try this? Is it successful? Once she is calved 40 days could I try it or is it to soon? and what are the conception rates like when using these things?
