    Had a 7 month old heifer calf bulling today and the bull (her own sire) has bulled her. Jezz I couldn`t believe it when I saw her bulling. What do I do now? Could I wait 3 weeks to see if she comes back bulling or do something about it now?
    It would be easier if I could wait the 3 weeks as she is in an outside farm and the hassle of putting her in at the moment I`d rather wait the 3 weeks and see then

    Wait the 3 weeks. If you don't see her bulling, inject her. I had an 8 month old bulling once. Some shock to see it, especially when it's so hard to spot older cows.

    So I can still inject her after 3 weeks? If so I`m sorted.
    Yep I have older cows that haven't gone back in calf yet but knowing my luck the heifer calf will keep

    I think you may have to wait longer than 3 weeks to inject. Check with vet. However you also need to remove her from the bull as she will cycle straight away after the injection.

    Had one two years ago I had not spotted. Was well in calf before I noticed. Decided to keep her. Lovely suckler cow now, but lots of worry at the time.
    Wait the 3 weeks and inject.

    There will be no need to remove her from the Bull as he`s going to Super Macs in 2 weeks time

    Not OTT, he`s gone pure wicked this year too, plus its end of the breeding season so why would you want to be keeping him for

    Three weeks would be fine.

    That would have been my attempt at humour. If he is in any way dangerous good reason for good bye.
