    I threw one of these on a heifer I bought of a neighbour and a cow he let in with our bull 2 days ago. I didnt get a chance to see them yesterday but looked at them this evening and they are both gone red. Now im not too bothered because they are with the bull but thought it would just be handy to have a time for them. I wonder is it just coincidence they both came bulling in the space of 2 days after letting them in with the bull or can they be set off by scratching off a tree or something else. I watched a 800kg cow belong to a friend mount a heifer for a few seconds a few weeks ago and it didnt go completely red so im a bit confused.

    In short I don't know. However when you mix new cattle there is usually a certain amount of jockeying. I wonder could this explain it?

    I know that alright, From my limited experience of them they would have to be at standing heat a while to go completly red though :confused:
