Heifer, blood on bum

[choochter]

Heifer was AI'd 3 weeks ago and 2 days later noticed a wee bit of blood on her bum.
If she was going to come into season again it would've been today, but no sign of it.....

Would she have held even though there was a bit of blood?
If so, what does the blood mean?

 

[Henarar]

she may still come bulling in the next few days

Maybe implant bleeding? Not uncommon for women to bleed during early pregnancy.

Blood doesn't tell you anything apart from, that she was in heat.

She could easily have held.

 

[Old Boar]

Not uncommon. Fingers crossed for no further signs of bulling!

On a heifer it could be because she has "never even so much as looked at a man" before. Just keep an eye on her.

 

[choochter]

Good. Thanks for your replies. I'll be watching her like a hawk today.
She's got a tail sticker on.

I wouldn't worry about it until she comes bulling again. Most probably in a years time hopefully.

Normally with cows if you see blood about her tail she has been bulling about 1-2 days previously

I had a heifer bleed a noticeable amount for a few days after the first time she was bulled (enough to put me at panic stations to the vet who told me to get a grip pretty much lol!!). She was pregnant and held fine

+1 Just tells you that she ovulated about IIRC 18 hours previously. Fingers crossed, looks like you caught her!

Depends how much there is.

The more she bleeds, the lower the probably of pregnancy.

10 months isn’t that young to be bulling if they’re well fed and well grown
