    get vet or scanning man to handle them, they will advise you on what to do

    I'd agree, scan first to check for any problems.

    If everything is normal, the all sure bolus is very good option.
    We have used them on the cows for the last few years and I've gone from a sceptic to a true believer.
    Copper iodine selenium and cobalt, one shot will cover them for the breeding season.

    for me its
    1 bvd shots in mid march
    2 all sure trace bolus early april
    3 ibr live vaccine and worm dose late april
    3 lepto and salmonella in september
    4 very important to keep diet and energy requirement of cow consistent through breeding season

    As was said talk to vet for best options .

    They could be dirty , or cystic or delayed ovulation all of which require different treatments .
    Ya need to know the problem before you can solve it !!
